between "far in the distance" and "long away in the distance" ?????

First one sounds fine, the second one is incorrect. I have never heard this used like that before.

thank you very much , Marilyn.

So, I read this sentence:

"As we highlighted at the beginning – there is no easy answer. If we are able internalize this
approach of asking questions, and if we follow the five EWB Personal Impact Guiding Principles,
we will be a long away along the road of translating intentions to impact."

Is this incorrect?

It's fine, though 'a long way down the road' sounds more natural to me, which could be because I'm a BrE speaker.

Oh Thanks !!!!! " long away" is American English.
