Brooksvale 12-Hour

The Brooksvale 12-Hour is an endurance running event held in Hamden, Connecticut, featuring a challenging 4.25-mile loop with 500 feet of elevation gain. Participants can choose to run distances ranging from a marathon (six loops) to a 50k (eight loops), or aim for 50 miles within the 12-hour time limit. The course offers an aid station every loop, making it ideal for those training for longer ultras or first-time 50k runners.
