About the race
Traprock 50 is a trail event in Bloomfield, CT, held at Penwood State Park on April 17, 2027. The organizer is the CT Trailmixers, a volunteer non-profit trail running club. Race proceeds support local organizations including the Simsbury Land Trust and the Connecticut Forest & Parks Association.
The course is a loop of approximately 10.5 to 11 miles per loop. There are two race options:
- 50K three loops
- 17K one loop
The terrain is rolling forest roads and single track. About half the course follows technical single track on the Metacomet Trail; the remainder is double-track. Sections can be extremely rocky. The course will not change from the published route; a course map is available on AllTrails. The 50K has a nine hour cutoff.
The event is cupless; participants should plan to carry their own cup or bottle. Once the race reaches capacity, a waitlist opens. Waitlist selections follow registration order and selected runners have two days to accept. A tech shirt is available for separate purchase. Cancellation before March 1 yields a 50% refund; there are no refunds after that date, and no bib transfers or deferrals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
