About the race
Steep Endurance presents the fifth edition of 8 Hours at the Farm at Gurski Farm / Williams Park in Brookfield, CT. The event is a timed trail running competition held on a rolling country course made up of a 4 mile loop featuring single track and rolling farm trails. The loop design allows runners to pass and see fellow competitors frequently.
Event options include multi-hour timed formats and a shorter course added for 2026. Registration opens January 1; entry fees vary by event and registration period. Fees listed for the main options are approximately $65–$85 for the 8 hour event, $55–$75 for the 4 hour option, and $30–$35 for the 5K and 5K canicross.
Aid at the Start/Finish aid station includes water or electrolyte drink and typical race food items. The event operates a cupless policy; participants must carry their own hydration bottle, pack, or cup.
Race rules emphasize safety and course integrity: runners must stay on the marked course, be aware of hazards such as roots and rocks, notify course marshals when dropping out, and avoid littering on Town of Brookfield property. Bibs are not transferable. The use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged for safety and community reasons. Awards include specially designed medals, finisher recognition, sponsor swag, and podium awards for overall male and female finishers.
