Storybook Half Marathon

The Storybook Half Marathon is a scenic 13.1-mile trail race held in Roosevelt Forest, Stratford, Connecticut. The course consists of eight loops on a 1.64-mile wooded trail featuring singletrack and doubletrack paths with roots, rocks, and gentle hills, offering a charming yet moderately challenging experience suitable for runners, joggers, hikers, and walkers. Participants are encouraged to dress as storybook characters, with prizes for the best costumes.

The event supports a book drive benefiting local communities. Amenities include hydration stations, snacks, race medallions, and non-alcoholic beer. Awards are given to the top male and female finishers, and a festive post-race celebration completes the experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
