Participate in the Trail Animals Running Club Fall Classic at Great Brook Farm State Park, which provides a picturesque New England fall backdrop for an exciting day of trail running. This event features multiple race options including a 50-mile ultra, 50K, 20-mile, half marathon, and 10K distances, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced trail runners. The course is designed to challenge participants with its natural terrain, including roots, rocks, and scenic routes that pass through charming woods and cornfields. Runners tackling the 50M and 50K distances will navigate 10-mile loops, while the half marathon and 10K participants will complete laps of a shorter loop, all equipped with aid stations at key points along the way to support their journey. The event emphasizes a light-hearted, communal atmosphere where camaraderie is cherished. Runners are encouraged to cheer for one another as they enjoy the stunning trails together. In order to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment, specific cut-off times are enforced for longer distances, demanding strategic pacing. The race adopts a cupless policy, encouraging participants to bring their own hydration systems, and promotes a Leave No Trace ethos for environmental stewardship. Ultimately, this event is not only a personal challenge but also a celebration of trail running and community, with opportunities for everyone to get involved, including a free fun run for youth and options for participants to give back through food donations.
