Come join us in helping raise funds to rebuild trails damaged by recent wildfires and floods!

Some of your favorite Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails and New England Trail sections have recently been devastated by wildfires. Join the cross-state community effort inspired by a collective of trail running and hiking communities across the state, including the CT Trailmixers, the Shenipsit Striders, the West Rock Ramblers, the CULTRA podcast crew, and the Connecticut Forest & Parks Association (CFPA) to help repair trails.

Whether you consider yourself a runner, hiker, or someone who simply enjoys immersing yourself in natural open spaces, come and join the party! Run, walk, or hike a one-mile loop around the pond at YMCA Camp Sloper in Southington as many times as you’d like during the three hours of the event (9:00 am – noon). The route is mostly flat with a few gentle hills and includes crushed gravel, dirt road, and single track.

Everyone who completes at least one lap (one mile) will receive a finisher prize. There might even be special prizes for those who log the most miles during those three hours!

Registration is just $20 for participants 13 years and over. There is no charge for participants 12 years and younger. You can also make an EXTRA impact by donating more during registration or establishing a fundraising page. Recognition will be given to the top fundraisers. All net proceeds will be donated to CFPA for wildfire and flood relief. Plus, everyone who donates at the event will be entered into a raffle for some hiking gear — CFPA’s way of saying thank you for supporting their cause!
