Calling all Princesses and Princes :
Welcome to the gateway of CT running ! A great ultra experience. A new date and the 7th running of this 6 hour ultra. Located in the Town of Stratford, CT they are very fortunate indeed to be one of the few towns or cities in the nation to have its very own forest. Roosevelt Forest was set up during the depression in the 1930's. This beautiful 401 acre forest is part of the town's excellent park system. The park was established to provide recreational opportunities for townspeople, and to protect the watershed, wildlife and beauty of this fine example of mixed deciduous forest. Neatly nestled away, in North Stratford. >The Ultra run will last 6 hours from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. All runners, joggers, hikers and walkers are invited to participate in this very friendly event; do as many miles or hours, as you wish. Experience on a trail is mandatory for safety, so a little practice is warranted. There will be an award for 1st to 5th, with most miles completed. Also, an Ultra medal for anyone participating for 4 or more hours without any stop over 15 minutes. You will travel over a single and double track trails with some elevation on a circuit of about 3 miles. There will be 1 out and back and this will aid in a relatively fast course for a trail ultra, with pizza at noon. H20,endurance drink and Gels all day. You must be at least 18 years of age or with a parental signed waiver for 18 and under. A charitable portion of this race will go to the Roosevelt Forest Trail Commission, the Stratford EMS and other Town charities. A very important thing to note is this is limited to only 50 participants (modifiction maybe necessary), so register, now and reserve your spot to be "enchanted' by the forest Gnomes. For race integrity, registration non-refundable because of cost endured. Run, jog, hike or walk, or crawl you have up to 6 hours to do your best ! Remember to look for the pixies, trolls and unicorns ! This race is part of the rooseveltforestultras.com
