Soapstone Mountain Trail Races

Stafford, United States • 18 May 2025

The Soapstone Mountain Trail Races, held in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, offer two scenic trail running events: a challenging 25K (approximately 15.5 miles) and the Jerry Stage 6K "Sampler." Both courses wind through the beautiful Soapstone Mountain area within Shenipsit Forest State Park, featuring varied terrain including steep climbs like the notorious "Killer Hill," brook crossings, rocky and root-filled trails, and forested single tracks. The 25K race is part of the Blue Blazed Trail Running Series and supports local trail stewardship organizations. The event emphasizes safety, with aid stations on the 25K course and a cupless policy encouraging runners to carry their own water. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
