Connecticut Ultra Traverse (CUT112)
The Connecticut Ultra Traverse is a point to point trail running event with two route options that follow the blue blazes of the New England Trail through Connecticut. The event is listed from Southwick, MA and finishes at the Long Island Sound in Guilford, CT.
Distances
- 112 miles
- 50 miles
The 112 mile route follows the New England Trail from the MA CT border to Guilford. The 50 mile route follows the Mattabesset and Menuncatuck trails, covering the final portion of the 112 mile course. The course is not separately marked; navigation relies on the blue blazes and runner knowledge of the route.
Support and logistics are runner responsibilities. Entrants must arrange a dedicated crew to act as a rolling aid station and meet runners at road crossings with gear. Organizers provide guidance and spreadsheets but expect runners and crews to manage their own safety and support. Donations to the Connecticut Forest and Park Association may be made by entrants; donations are nonrefundable.
The route traverses multiple trail sections and landmarks including Suffield Mountain, Peak Mountain, Ragged Mountain, Castle Craig, Chauncey Peak, Powder Ridge, Cockaponset State Forest, and the Guilford waterfront. Roads along the route remain open to traffic and runners should use reflective gear for visibility. The race director may deny entry or require runners to leave the course if asked by landowners or law enforcement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
