Are you ready for an amazing day of trail running. The Angevine Farm Trail Festival is held in Warren, CT in the beautiful Northwest corner of the Nutmeg State. This area of Connecticut is ripe with grassy fields, land trust trails, State Forest trails, blue-blazed single track, dirt roads, and plenty of challenging climbs.

Course Description:

The Half Marathon begins at ends at the northern end of the Angevine Farm near the main parking for the tree farm area.  Runners will do a 1.7 loop on the farm before crossing Angevine Rd. onto a mix of single track/double track trails on the farm for the next mile.  They will then enter the Wyantenock State Forest where they will run on old City Hill Rd. before turning onto the Mattatuck Trail at 3.7 miles into the race.  Moving north on the mostly single track Mattatuck Trail, runners will experience mostly technical trails though most of is very runnable. Reaching the turnaround point at Hardscrabble Rd. at approximately 7 miles, they will return the same way they came on the Mattatuck Trail, the Wyantenock State Forest, and back to the farm for a smaller loop of the tree farm and for the iconic climb to the finish.

The 50K will feature a two loop course with the same first 7 miles as the Half Marathon Course and then continue further north on the Mattatuck Trail for another 1 1/4 miles before a turn around.  Runners will continue back the same way they came and rejoin the same route as the half for the last 10K.  It's a good mix of both technical trails, fire roads, and grassy farm trails and of course that climb to the finish!

The 5K/5K Canicross race will feature a two-loop route on the farm with plenty of sweeping views amid climbing and descending on the farm.

The 2K Farm Challenge race will mimic the first part of the half marathon course, but then feature that awesome lung busting climb to the finish.
