2024 EQUINOX TRAIL RUN

The Equinox Trail Endurance Run 2024

It is scheduled for Saturday June 22, 2024 at Tyler State Park PA. Returning to it's original venue, The Equinox will now offer both dirt trail and paved loops within the park, run either or both. The event will be similar to past BCRR Equinox Trail events in that we’ll have an all-day Trail Run, on a looped courses, starting/ending at the No.1 Lane Parking Lot, near the Art Center. This is a "Come out and Play on Trails" event, run with friends, experience the Trail Community.  The Equinox is free to BCRR members and their families. This year we are opening up Equinox to non members, for a small fee. All participants will receive a coveted Equinox trail cap. Food and refreshments will be provided for the runners throughout the day. Donations are encouraged to help defer some of the the cost.

Originally created in 2008, as a compilation of all the BCRR Winter Series courses, The Equinox offered club members a challenge of seeing how far they could run. Several individuals and teams achieved the 50 mile total that first year. This Equinox 2.0, Trail Version provides a similar opportunity to test your endurance limits, on soft dirt trails. Those reminiscing on the original format of running all the BCRR Winter Series courses are welcome to give it a go. 

The trail run will take place on a well-marked ~5 mile trail loop, or an unmarked ~5 mile paved loop (maps available). You will have 11 hours to run as many or as few loops as you want. Loops should be run in alternating directions, to see and cheer fellow runners. We will award a men’s and women’s distance achievers based on total mileage throughout the day. Otherwise, this is a non-competitive fun event. Run as much or as little as you want, hang out and chat with friends. The trails in the park are beautiful and this will be a great day to come together as a running community to enjoy the day! 

Come get your dirt on.

Note: Due to challenges with the previous venue, The Equinox was moved back to Tyler Park, returning to it's roots spawned by the BCRR Winter Series.
