THE LONG WAY ROUND
six hours. four kilometres of trail, looped.
run as much as you want. stop when you need to. the only person you're racing is yourself.
The Long Way Round is a timed trail endurance event - Outrun London's founding race.
no fixed finish line. no podium pressure.
just you, a loop you'll come to know well, and however many times you choose to run it.
it's open to anyone who moves under their own power.
that means first-timers and seasoned trail runners line up together, and both leave having earned something.
the loop is 4km of mixed trail — hard-packed gravel, open grassland, single-track dirt. roughly 96m of elevation per lap.
enough to feel it.
not enough to fear it.
you decide when you've had enough. or you let the clock decide.
