About the race
Traprock 50 is a trail running event held in Bloomfield, CT at Penwood State Park. The course is a loop of approximately 10.5 to 11 miles per loop. Two race options use the same loop:
- 50K three loops
- 17K one loop
The route is rolling and contains about half technical single track on the Metacomet Trail; the remainder is double-track. Much of the course runs on forest roads or single track that can be extremely rocky. The organizer recommends entrants have sufficient recent running experience such as a recent road or trail marathon.
The event is organized by the CT Trailmixers, a volunteer non profit trail running club. Race proceeds go to local organizations including the Simsbury Land Trust and the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association. The race operates as a cupless event so participants should bring a personal cup or handheld bottle. A course map is available on AllTrails.
Operational notes from the organizer: when the race reaches capacity a waitlist opens and runners are selected in registration order; selected runners have two days to accept an entry. Registrants who cancel before March 1 receive a 50 percent refund; there are no refunds after that date and no bib transfers or deferrals. Quality tech shirts are available for separate purchase. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
