Cross-Connecticut Run for Mental Health Awareness

The Cross-Connecticut Run for Mental Health Awareness is a unique 56-mile group running event held annually in Connecticut, starting in West Suffield and ending in New Haven along the scenic, flat Farmington Canal Heritage Trail. This non-competitive challenge supports Mental Health Connecticut through fundraising efforts, encouraging participants to donate or raise funds. The course traverses rural, suburban, and urban areas, offering a diverse backdrop.

While the run is largely self-supported, basic aid stations are available, and runners must be self-reliant with their own supplies and safety plans. The event emphasizes wellness, community support, and the accomplishment of running across the state. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
