Entrants are required to send a donation to the Connecticut Forest and Park Association: CUT112 entrants send $112 and CUT50M entrants send $100, and must forward proof of donation to the organizer as instructed. Donations are non refundable. Registration closes Tue, May 5 @ 11:59PM ET.
The CUT112 route follows the New England Trail from the Massachusetts Connecticut border to the Long Island Sound in Guilford. The CUT50 follows the Mattabesset and Menuncatuck trails from MUTs End at the Berlin Turnpike to the Long Island Sound and covers the final section of the CUT112 course. The route is not marked except by blue blazes, so runners must navigate and know the trail.
Support is self organized; crews act as rolling aid stations meeting runners at road crossings. Roads along the route remain open to traffic and crews and runners should use reflective gear. The course includes technical singletrack, traprock ridges, and at least 16,722 feet of vertical gain. Typical finishing times are between 30 and 45 hours. The race director may deny entry based on experience or other considerations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
