Calling all Princesses and Princes :

Spring is such an enchanting time in the forest! Trees are blooming, flowers are starting to grow and what better way to experience it than running or hiking the trails?! This 6 hour/50k ultra gives you the chance to do just that! Complete as many miles or hours as you wish within the 6 hours, or aim for that 50K milestone. This is an excellent race for both novice and seasoned trail runners, and a great training run for those tackling longer distances later in the season including the Centurion and Forbidden Forest 33 or 30 hour/100 miler. Costumes for this race are encouraged (but not required)...there’s nothing better than fairies and unicorns prancing through the forest on a magical March day!

The Course:

The course will be an irregular loop of 2.3 miles with an elevation each loop of 191 feet. The trails are single and double track with typical New England trails of roots, rocks and rolling hills, Course markings will consist of yellow signs with black arrows and smaller tree markings; no getting lost!

Race Details:

Roosevelt Forest is located at GPS address of 700 Peters Lane, Stratford, CT

Bib pick up and registration starts at 7 am at the pavilion next to the parking lot

Race start is 8:30 am

Park "comfortably" close since the parking lot is small, also larger vehicles to the side lot, (no RV's)

A "chip" bib will register each and every lap

Registration:

This Ultra is limited to 50 Participants, meaning you are not one of 200 to 400 participants, so this is “your personal race for your personal best”.

NEW THIS YEAR: 50k medallions for those who hit that milestone!
