Bristow Loop Race

Bristow Loop Race

Welcome to the Bristow Loop Race, where you get to choose to run for 24 Hours, 12 Day Hours, 12 Night Hours, or 6-Hours. This race is a 1.05 mile loop, with less than 15 feet elevation change. You can run as many laps as you want in your chosen time frame. Go as fast or as leisurely as you’d like. Take breaks if you want. Crush it out there or just enjoy time with friends on the trail. The route won’t bore you!

New for 2026 – a 12-Hour Night Solo category
The 12-Hour Night races happens overnight; starting at 8:00 p.m. and finishing at 8:00 a.m. It’s a great opportunity to practice nighttime running without having to do the 24-hour race.

The venue is at a state park and has the perfect area for your crew and fans to set up to help you get in another lap, and another, and another. But you don’t need a crew if you want to do this all on your own. The aid station is amazing and you can access your car or a spot you set up.

This event is ideal for those who want to see just how far they can go, or for people who have a specific distance goal in mind and don’t want a race with cutoffs. It’s also a great opportunity to try out running in the dark and overnight. There are many reasons or purposes that runners have for doing this race. No matter yours, you can expect to walk (or hobble) away from the Bristow Loop Race feeling really happy and supported.

Come see just what you have in you!
Those who make it 100 miles earn a buckle!
And you can camp the night before right at the start! Details on the website.

Pride at Bristow is back again this year too! We love seeing so many LGBTQ+ runners and crew and appreciate so much what Nick Pham does to make this event so welcoming and open to the queer community.
