Norfolk Land Trust Trail Race Series

The Norfolk Land Trust Trail Race Series, including the Haystack Mountain Challenge, is held annually in Norfolk, Connecticut. The event features three trail races: a 5K, 10K, and a challenging half marathon. The 5K course runs through scenic Barbour Woods with a mix of single and double track trails, including climbs and views of Haystack Mountain.

The 10K adds a demanding loop over Haystack Mountain, reaching the iconic Haystack Mountain Tower. The half marathon is a grueling race with over 2,000 feet of elevation gain, incorporating private trails and two ascents of Haystack Mountain. Runners enjoy a supportive atmosphere with pizza and beverages available post-race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
