Nipmuck Trail Marathon

Ashford, United States • 5 Oct 2025

NipMuck Trail Marathon, in Ashford, CT, features two options: the original NipMuck Trail Marathon (26.4 miles) and a two-person NipMuck Relay. The race uses a 13-mile middle segment of the Nipmuck Trail, running south to Route 44, back to the start, then north to Boston Hollow before finishing at Perry Hill Road. Expect rugged trail conditions: rocks, roots, mud, wood bridges, and significant elevation; about 60% of time in the second half due to hills. It’s part of the Blue-Blazed Trail Running Series; shirts can be added to registration. The event emphasizes a supportive, volunteer-driven community.
