Shore2Shore

01 · THE RACE North Shore to South. Shore2Shore is a point-to-point 50K and 25K on the full length of the Suffolk County Long Island Greenbelt Trail — one of the best-kept secrets in Northeast trail running. You start on the north shore at Sunken Meadow, drop through towns and trails, duck under Sunrise Highway, and finish at Heckscher State Park on the south shore. Looks flat on paper. Isn't. The terrain shifts, the road crossings break your rhythm, and the back half finds ways to surprise you. Plenty of people have laid down solid days here — but it's more honest as a season opener than a PR attempt.

02 · THE COURSE Course 50K Elevation ~1,200 ft — most climbing in the northern 10 miles 25K Elevation Far less — net downhill second half Surface Mixed — trail, roads, bike path, crossings Markings Pink flagging plus white Greenbelt blazes Runs entirely along the Greenbelt's existing white-blaze system on trees, poles, and trail markers, plus our own pink flagging and arrows.
