Long Island is the home of
hundreds of road races and thousands of long distance road runners. These events range in distance from one mile to 50
kilometers and are open to runners of all ages and abilities.
Many of these races are sanctioned by USATF and courses are
certified by professional course certifiers.
The USATF-LI Grand Prix Series of
Road Races is the crown jewel in our Long Distance Running
program. We thank this year's sponsors - Runner's Edge, Simmons
Jannace & Stagg. Also supported by
Alien Canopy, Finish Line Road Race Technicians and Greater Long
Island Running Club. Scoring provided by Dennis Boyd.
