Fall Fling 400
The Fall Fling 400 is an annual trail running event organized by the CT Trailmixers at YMCA Camp Sloper in Southington, CT. The event offers two race options and a series option for those combining events.
- Fling 400 complete as many loops of the roughly two mile course within 400 minutes.
- Fall Fling 4 Miler two laps of the roughly two mile loop.
The main course is a roughly two mile loop with moderately rolling hills. It runs mostly on single track wooded trails and includes some dirt and gravel road sections. Parts of the route are rocky and root covered while other sections are smoother. The course will be marked with flags.
There is one aid station at the main pavilion start and finish area offering traditional trail race foods such as baked goods, fruit, chips, candy, water, and electrolyte drink. Participants may set up a drop bag and personal area at the main start and finish. This is a cupless event, so participants should bring a cup or mug. Portable toilets are available and indoor restrooms are a short walk from the aid station.
Racing is chip timed and laps are counted; only laps completed within the 400 minute limit count. Registrations are online only, with capacity limits of 150 for the Fling 400 and 50 for the 4 miler. Registration fees include processing charges, optional refund protection is available, and CT Trailmixers members receive a 25 percent discount via coupon.
All finishers receive a CT Trailmixers gift and finisher medal. Top male, female, and non binary competitors are recognized. Race proceeds benefit local organizations including the Southington YMCA, the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association, and the CT Trailmixers Shoe Scholarship Program.
