Lake Mohegan Women’s Trail Race

The Lake Mohegan Women’s Trail Race is organized by Steep Endurance and takes place at Lake Mohegan in Fairfield, Connecticut. The event is intended for women and is also open to non-binary runners. The organizer notes typical female participation in trail races is about 30–40 percent and that the 2024 edition had more than 125 runners. The event offers the following options:

  • 5K
  • 10K
  • 4-hour format on the 5K loop (participants run or walk as many miles as they can in the allotted time)

Course, entries and race policies

The course uses the Lake Mohegan trail network; a GPX file and course map are provided. Entry fees vary by event and registration period: the 5K ranges from $30 to $40, the 10K from $35 to $45, and the 4-hour event from $55 to $75. There are no refunds and registrations or bibs may not be transferred. Aid will be available at the start/finish for 4-hour runners and for 10K runners before their second loop; there is no on-course aid for 5K runners. The race is cupless to reduce waste. Race headquarters are located near the parking area at the recreation site, and onsite parking is available. Awards include a finisher medal from Ragged Cuts and podium awards for the top three in each event. Race rules require staying on the marked course, prohibit littering, advise notifying course marshals when dropping, and strongly discourage the use of personal music devices for safety.
