Tunxis Trail Races

The Tunxis Trail Races take place in Burlington, Connecticut and are organized by the Burlington Land Trust as a fundraiser. The event is part of the Blue Blazed Trail Running Series and features short trail race distances for the fall.

The event offers the following distances:

Courses run on the Tunxis Trail system and include a mix of trail types: double track, single track, half track, off track and some road.
