Lake Mohegan Trail Race

Lake Mohegan Trail Race

Back for our 5th year! The Lake Mohegan Trail Race, a WOMEN'S ONLY event in Fairfield, CT is trying to bring more awareness to the availability of trail running for women. Typically 30-40% of participants in trail races are women. In this race, it's 100%! Lake Mohegan, with its very runnable/variety of trails, make for an ideal backdrop for this type of event and gives NEW women trail runners a great introduction to trail running, but also provides a great course for those more experienced participants. The race will also be open to non-binary runners as well

Distances

Three different events will be offered: 5K, 10K, and a 4 hour option for participants to run/walk as many miles in the allotted time on the 5K loop.

Registration

**Please see registration link above to signup. A portion of your entry fee and/or proceeds from the race series will go to a local non-profit charity.

Entry fees collected are used to develop and produce the event, starting well in advance of the race date--including course preparation, race supplies, permits, and administration.

Swag/Awards

We have some great swag/awards for the event. Finisher medals from Ragged Cuts plus plenty of goodies from our sponsors! Awards for Top 3 podium for Overall Male/Female in each distance. For further info, please see the event website.

Course Description

The course is extremely pretty and runnable with the footing generally good throughout, but there are a few short steep hill sections, but nothing of great length. Both the first time trail runner and the experienced trail runner will certainly enjoy the loop. The loop is 5K in distance with the 10K runners doing the loop twice and the 4 Hour runners as many completed loops as they can before Noon.

Post Race Celebration

If you've never been to a trail race before, we feed you well after the event! Enjoy your accomplishment, sit back, relax, and don’t forget to cheer on all the runners coming in behind you! We will have the usual spread including bagels, fruit, muffins, pre-packaged snacks, and plenty of beverage options.
