Soapstone Mountain Trail Races

The Soapstone Mountain Trail Races, taking place on May 18, 2025, in Stafford Springs, CT, feature 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 views. The event promotes trail stewardship, with proceeds benefiting local conservation organizations. Participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the course, as it includes steep climbs and technical sections.

The Shenipsit Striders, a local trail running club, organizes the event, fostering a community of runners of all abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
