Marathon
Depends on what the question refers to: The longest "running" event is the Marathon, but the longest event in terms of distance in the athletics is the Mens 50 kilometre walk (but you certainly aren't allowed to run in that). Alternatively there are a whole series of events that have been included in every Olympics, therefore there is no single longest running event in terms of being at every Olympics.
June 21st and December 21st, the shortest and longest nights of the year.
The 50m is the shortest, but not necessarily the "easiest". If an athlete is truly competing to the best of his ability, all events are difficult in the sense that the athlete is pushing himself to his limits. With the 50m, you are running for the shortest amount of time, but at the fastest pace.
The longest running games ever is attributed to one Robert Davies' Games, (actually spelled OLIMPICK Games) - the Games ran annually in Chipping Campden from 1612 to 1852 plus a resurrected games in 1951. This makes it the longest running games with 241 events. The Games always included the Main Event which was Shin Kicking! (OUCH!)
The summer solstice has the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The winter solstice has the shortest day and the longest night of the year.
Solstices are astronomical events that occur twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is either closest to or farthest from the Sun, resulting in the longest and shortest days of the year. The summer solstice in June marks the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere, while the winter solstice in December marks the shortest day.

A solstice is the longest or shortest days of the year. (December 21 is the winter solstice or shortest day of the year, June 21st is the longest or the summer solstice) Equinox is when the day and night are equal amounts of time.
The fastest and longest of the alpine events is downhill skiing.
