Soapstone Mountain Trail Races

The Soapstone Mountain Trail Races, taking place on May 18, 2025, in Stafford Springs, CT, features two scenic races: a 25K and a 6K "Sampler." Both courses wind through the picturesque Soapstone Mountain area and Shenipsit Forest State Park, offering a mix of challenging terrain and beautiful landscapes. The event promotes trail stewardship, with proceeds benefiting local conservation organizations. Participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the course and are reminded to carry their own water containers, as the race will be cupless.

The Shenipsit Striders, a nonprofit trail running club, organizes the event to support the trail community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
