fall – The Trail Mix

Trail Mix Runners:

We hope you are enjoying August! With two races complete, we have updated the results to date for the Trail Mix Series here:

There is still plenty of time and races to catch up — and add to your total!

We have five exciting and challenging Trail Mix Series races coming in September, October, and November.

September 15 – Where the Pavement Ends (register)
September 29 – Sarah Bishop Bushwhack (register)
October 13 – Paine to Pain (register) NEW in Trail Mix Series!!
October 20 – Run The Farm (register) also has Kids Run The Farm race
November 10 – Raven Rocks Run (register)

All races are Sunday mornings. Check the individual race website for place and time details. Click the register link next to the race above to get signup info.

To be eligible for the Trail Mix Series, you must complete at least four of the seven races (The Leatherman’s Loop and A Mild Sprain have already passed for 2019). If you have completed two already you just need two more! If you have run none so far, you can pick four out of five and still be In The Mix!

Bonus: If you complete the Trail Mix Series in 2019, you are guaranteed automatic selection upon your entry into the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery in January 2020. (Remember: you must enter the loop lottery to get in as a Trail Mix automatic selection!)

If you are looking for a group to train and run trails with, check our SundayRuns.org website. Even if you can’t make the Sunday 8am runs, there are always other options — plus tons of local trail maps with designated routes you can follow on your own.

There has never been a better time to be a trail runner in our area!

Hope to see you on the trails!

The remaining three races in the Trail Mix 2017 are, in chronological order:

September 24 – Sarah Bishop Bushwhack (register)
October 22 – Run The Farm (register)
November 12 – Raven Rocks Run (register)

All of the Trail Mix series races are on Sunday mornings.

It is too late to join in for 2017 if you haven’t run one of the first three Trail Mix Series races this year — but you can still run in any or ALL of the upcoming races! (In order to qualify for the series standings you must complete at least FOUR of the SIX races in the series.)

One bonus for completing the series is that it makes you eligible for automatic selection in the Leatherman’s Loop 2018 Lottery.

Hope to see you on the trails!

About The Trail Mix

The Trail Mix – Westchester-Fairfield Trail Series is currently a series of seven trail races in Westchester and Fairfield Counties.

We combine results from your best four of the seven races in the series using a points system to determine a series winner and award special prizes.

There is no additional cost to join the series other than registering and running in at least 4 of the 7 races listed here.

Runners who complete the series with four or more races are eligible for automatic selection in the Leatherman's Loop Lottery the following year.

(Note: to get automatic selection in the Loop Lottery after running at least 4 of the 7 Trail Mix races the prior year, you must still register for the Loop Lottery!)
