Cross-Connecticut Run for Mental Health Awareness

Suffield, United States • 6 Sep 2025

The Cross-Connecticut Run for Mental Health Awareness is a unique 56-mile group running event held annually in Connecticut, following the scenic and flat Farmington Canal Heritage Trail from West Suffield to New Haven. This non-competitive challenge supports Mental Health Connecticut through fundraising, encouraging participants to donate or raise funds. The course traverses rural, suburban, and urban areas, offering a diverse backdrop.

The run is self-supported with basic aid stations and requires runners to be self-sufficient, carrying essentials like hydration and headlamps. With a 14-hour cutoff, participants must plan transportation and safety measures. Finishers gain the pride of completing a full-state run for a meaningful cause.
