Starting at Hebron Elementary School, right off Route 85, runners will head south on Route 85 before picking up the Air Line Trail. The trail, flat and surfaced with packed dirt, will then take runners on a scenic journey through the charming towns of Colchester and East Hampton. At the Trail Head, runners will then travel down the trail to Watrous Street before taking a left onto Summit Street, leading them to the finish line at Center Elementary School in East Hampton. Shuttle buses are available for all runners moving in each direction to ensure maximum convenience throughout the course. The 13.1-mile course (which is certified) features several key points along the way, including the famous “Grayville Road” leg, which spans a distance of 3.6 miles. Runners will then transition to the “River Road Overpass” segment, covering 4.2 miles before arriving at the finish line. The course follows a horseshoe shape and is the perfect mix of flat stretches and rolling hills. This annual event is the perfect opportunity to take on a unique and challenging run through some of the most scenic places in Connecticut. You won’t want to miss it!
