Forbidden Forest 30 Hour Ultra Trail Run
This is a 30 hour timed trail race held at Roosevelt Forest, 700 Peters Lane, Stratford, CT. The course is a 2.23 mile loop with roots, rocky terrain, and one larger hill called "OMG." Runners return to the pavilion at the end of each loop.
Distances offered include:
- 26.2 miles
- 50K
- 50 miles
- 100K
- 100 miles
- Other distances by laps
Complete 45 loops in 30 hours to earn a finisher buckle. Race winners are determined by the most miles completed within the 30 hour time window. Reaching 100 miles earns a buckle at that point but does not by itself determine the overall winner.
The pavilion serves as the single aid station, located at the start and end of each loop. Food and hydration are provided throughout the event, with items such as PB&J sliders, multiple pizza options, ziti, and breakfast sandwiches. Non alcoholic beer is provided by a sponsor. Race shirts and additional swag are available for purchase; entry includes a selection of swag.
