Description

Join us for year 6 of Connecticut's most monstrous 5k in the majestic hills of Salisbury Connecticut. This special year is dedicated to creating a USATF certified course, securing our place on the Connecticut race map for a decade in the future. Our majestic and evergreen course has welcomed runners from all over the Eastern Region who enjoy the quintessential views and vibe of old-world New England in the autumn. Additional the the race, this corner of Connecticut offers every adventure, play and recreational opportunity, making the event fun for the whole family. The route climbs over 1,000 ft in the first mile before runners turn around and fly back down the same steeps, flanked by extraordinary views of Lake Wononscopomuc during autumn's final peak. This is an ideal race for runners and walkers of all levels who wish to tune up their fitness or set a new PR for a recorded mile. As always, this run is fun(d)raiser with proceeds supporting evidence-based adventure and arts and educational programming for people ages 12-20 in order to prevent the elevated risks for alcohol and drug abuse faced by young people in rural areas of New England where the overdose rate is among the highest in the state. To date, we have raised over $7,500 for organizations making a difference. All race fees and additional donations support our mission, which is to bring forth the best of the BEAST in all of us.
