Course and logistics
The route follows the Fenton River for much of the course and runs between Mansfield Hollow State Park and Old Turnpike Road (off Route 44). The trail includes several small bridge crossings, a climb to a 50 ft cliff, fields, and woods. There are three water stops along the trail and support for crossing at three road crossings. The course was modified to bypass a missing iron bridge and the lollipop at the turnaround was removed to keep the distance similar. Proceeds will be donated to Connecticut trail stewardship organizations, including the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, Joshua's Trust, and the Northern Connecticut Land Trust.
