8 Hours At The Farm

Brookfield, United States • 1 Nov 2026

8 Hours at the Farm

This event takes place at Gurski Farm / Williams Park in Brookfield, CT, on a rolling country style course that uses a single 4 mile loop. The loop combines single track and rolling farm trails and is run repeatedly in a timed format.

Options include timed entries for 8 hour and 4 hour efforts, plus a 5K and a 5K canicross that were added for 2026. Registration opens January 1 and entry fees vary by registration period; published fees span roughly from $30 to $85 depending on event and date.

Aid at the start and finish provides water or electrolyte drink and typical quick snacks. The event operates a CUPLESS policy: participants must carry their own hydration bottle, pack, or cup. Course markings and marshals are used to keep runners on the correct route; staying on course is mandatory.

Race rules emphasize safety and respect for the venue. Runners must notify course marshals if withdrawing to avoid search and rescue responses. Littering and unofficial entry transfers are prohibited. Personal music devices are strongly discouraged so participants can hear course directions and interact with others.

Awards include specially designed medals from Ragged Cuts, finisher awards, sponsor swag, and podium awards for overall male and female finishers across events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
