The longest and fastest of the alpine events in the Winter Olympics is the downhill. This event features a single run down a steep and challenging course, typically covering a distance of around 2 to 3 kilometers. Competitors reach high speeds, often exceeding 130 kilometers per hour (81 mph), making it the most exhilarating and demanding of the alpine skiing disciplines.

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.
