Course and requirements

The course passes through several inter-connected woodland preserves in southern Connecticut and consists entirely of rolling forest roads and single-track trails that can be extremely rocky. The route does not require repeated laps of the same loop. The race is intended for experienced runners; the organizer recommends recent completion of a road or trail marathon before entering. The event uses aid station cutoffs and relies on volunteer support for aid stations and course sweeping. The race acknowledges support from local conservation commissions, land trusts, town agencies, and the Regional Water Authority. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
