About the race
The Longest Night is an overnight trail-running event at Lakewood Nature Preserve in Greenville, SC. It offers five distances: 50 miles, 50K, marathon (26.2 miles), half marathon (13.1 miles), and 10K. Runners tackle a 1.5-mile wide grassy loop on rolling trails, repeating laps as night unfolds toward dawn.
The format includes a 25-minute loop pace, fostering a steady, communal night experience. Attendees enjoy a fireside gathering, post-race music, and complimentary race photos, plus a swag-filled finish (finisher medal, custom bib, tattoo, sticker, hydration cup). Cup-less aid with hot soup and drinks is provided; proceeds support Upstate Running Club youth programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
