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. The event emphasizes community and environmental stewardship, with proceeds benefiting local trail organizations. Participants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the challenging terrain, which includes steep climbs and varied trail conditions.

The Shenipsit Striders, a nonprofit trail running club, organizes the event, promoting a love for trail running and supporting conservation efforts in Connecticut. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
