Standings Update – Post “Paine to Pain”

• Women’s Series Standings to date •

• Men’s Series Standings to date •

FIVE races in the 2024 Trail Mix Series are complete!

There are TWO REMAINING Trail Mix Series Races (see links below).

 Run the Farm 10/27 • Raven Rocks Run 11/10

We have sorted the races to date by best 4 races scored to date (omitting the lowest race if 5 races were run).

This highlights the runners who have completed more Trail Mix Series races over the runners who placed higher in the standings but have not run as many races in the series.

Those other runners might potentially catch some of the higher runners if they do more races in the series. These standings reflect the cumulative points effort to date – and you can always sort the table by average per race if you want.

Women’s Series

There are 47 women who have raced in 2 or more Trail Mix Series races in 2024. Many have run 3 or more races. Any who have finished 4 or more have qualified for automatic lottery selection after entering into the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery in 2025.

In the women’s 2024 trail mix series, Barbara Basbanes Richter has finished all five races to date in the 2024 Trail Mix. Barbara maintains her points lead over Lindsey Felling who stays in second place in total series points with three races compete.

Barbara along with Mary Brower are the only women who have finished all five of the 2024 races to date. Mary is in 7th place overall.

Cassandra Ring is third overall with three trail mix races completed. Teren Block is fourth and Allison Bell is fifth.

Emily Rebori and Mary Brower are sixth and seventh. Rounding out the top 10 are Celine Varin, Amy Falder, and Mary Fasciana.

Men’s Series

There are 108 men who have raced in 2 or more Trail Mix Series races in 2024. Many have run 3 or more races. Any who have finished 4 or more have qualified for automatic lottery selection after entering into the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery in 2025.

Eamonn Sullivan has placed first in each of the four Trail Mix Races this year and is ranked first overall in the series. It is now mathematically impossible for anyone but Eamonn to finish first in the men’s 2024 Trail Mix Series. Congratulations to Eamonn!

The battle for second place is on! It is currently held by Chris Irwin with Todd Henrich third overall. Todd has a lower than normal showing in the Leatherman’s Loop and if he drops it with a top showing in one of the last two races he will close the gap with Chris. Of course if Chris continues as he has run then he will be tough to catch.

Gerry Sullivan is ranked fourth overall with four races completed to date. He can also close the gap with a top finish in one of the next two races.

William Fraoili is in fifth place with good finishes in four of the five races to date. Josh Omin is sixth just below William in total score.

Richard Peck is in seventh place with four races finished.

Edmund Dee is in eighth place with only 3 races complete. Ed can vault close to 2nd place with a top 3 showing in Run the Farm and/or Raven Rocks.

Paul Viscontini is currently in ninth place after three races and has a great average. He will be very close to 2nd place as well with a top 3 finish in an upcoming race.

Aryeh Abelow is in tenth place with Ethan Knecht very close behind in 11th place.

These standings are based on the best 4 races total points earned to date so they highlight and favor runners who have completed more Trail Mix Series Races. As we get closer to series completion the standings will change and some of the runners who have fewer races but higher standings will pop up higher in the standing to take over some of the top spots — but they have to finish the races first!

We are looking forward to see what Run the Farm brings on October 27th as the Series continues in October.

The standings list will shrink after we add the sixth race which will cause eligible runners with 3 races or more to be shown. Don’t let yourself fall off the standings!

If you haven’t started the 2024 series yet — you don’t need to run in the series to race in these trail races – they are open to any who want to run! When you are ready for the challenge, we’re here for you!

The remaining races in the series are:

There are THREE REMAINING Trail Mix Series Races (see links below).

 Paine to Pain 9/29 • Run the Farm 10/27 • Raven Rocks Run 11/10

We have sorted the races to date by total points scored to date (not by an average per race). 

This highlights the runners who have completed more Trail Mix Series races over the runners who placed higher in the standings but have not run as many races in the series.

Those other runners might potentially catch some of the front runners if they do more races in the series. These standings reflect the cumulative points effort to date – and you can always sort the table by average per race if you want.

Women’s Series

In the women’s 2024 trail mix series, Barbara Basbanes Richter has taken over the points lead from Lindsey Felling who is now in second place in total series points with three races compete. Barbara has completed all four of the 2024 races to date – only one other woman has done that this year – Mary Brower who is currently 6th in points overall.

Cassandra Ring is third overall with three trail mix races completed. Teren Block is fourth and Allison Bell is fifth.

Emily Rebori and Mary Brower are sixth and seventh. Rounding out the top 10 are Harriet Menocal, Vanessa Wilson, and Mea Sgaglio.

Men’s Series

Eamonn Sullivan has placed first in each of the four Trail Mix Races this year and is ranked first overall in the series.

Second place is held by Todd Henrich and third overall is held by Gerry Sullivan. Both runners have run in all four 2024 Trail Mix Series races.

Chris Irwin is ranked fourth overall with only three races completed to date. He has a chance to leap into second place with a good showing in one of the next races in the series.

Jordan Cramer springs into fifth place with good finishes in three of the races to date. Michael McKenna is just a few hundredths of a point behind him in sixth.

Will Sargisson holds onto a top 10 spot — currently in seventh place after the three spring races.

Harry Chiel is in eighth place with  Eric Foxhall and Ed Moore coming in at 9th and 10th.

These standings are based on the total points earned to date so they highlight and favor runners who have completed more Trail Mix Series Races. As more races are completed the standings will change and some of the runners who have fewer races but higher standings will bubble up from below to take some of the top spots — but they have to finish the races first!

We are looking forward to see what Paine to Pain brings on September 29th as the Series resumes in the fall.

The standings list is sure to shrink as we add the fifth race which causes only series-scoring eligible runners will be shown. Don’t let yourself fall off the standings!

If you haven’t started the 2024 series yet — you don’t need to run in the series to race in these trail races – they are open to any who want to run! When you are ready for the challenge, we’re here for you!

Standings Update – Summer 2024

• Women’s Series Standings to date •

• Men’s Series Standings to date •

THREE races in the 2024 Trail Mix Series are complete!

There are FOUR REMAINING Trail Mix Series Races (see links below).

Where the Pavement Ends 9/8 • Paine to Pain 9/29 • Run the Farm 10/27 • Raven Rocks Run 11/10

We have sorted the races to date by total points scored to date (not by an average per race). This highlights the runners who have completed more Trail Mix Series races over the runners who placed higher in the standings but have not run as many races in the series. Those other runners might potentially catch some of the front runners if they do more races in the series. These standings reflect the cumulative points effort to date – and you can always sort the table by average per race if you want.

Women’s Series

In the women’s trail mix series, Lindsay Felling is leading – winning two of the three Trail Mix races she entered so far in 2024 and placing high in the third. She is followed by Barbara Basbanes Richter who has completed all three of the 2024 Trail Mix races.

Cassandra Ring is third overall with two trail mix races completed. Teren Block is fourth and Harriet Menocal is fifth.

Mary Brower and Allison Bell are sixth and seventh. Rounding out the top 10 with strong showings in two of the three races are Emily Rebori, Colleen Stapleton, and Julie Shulman.

Men’s Series

Eamonn Sullivan has placed first in each of the three Trail Mix Races this year and is ranked first overall in the series.

Second place is held by Todd Henrich and third overall is held by Gerry Sullivan.

Edit: Will Sargisson is actually 4th overall currently after the Fall races. We have updated the official results in the Men’s Series Standings.

Josh Omin and Arnaldo Guerrero are ranked fourth and fifth in the series to date.

Tommy Ross and Chris Irwin placed very high in the two Trail Mix races they ran this year to date, placing them in sixth and seventh place, respectively. Drew Accomando, Eric Foxhall, and Paul Viscontini round out the men’s top 10.

These standings are based on the total points earned to date so they highlight and favor runners who have completed more Trail Mix Series Races. As more races are completed the standings will change.

We are looking forward to see what Where the Pavement Ends brings on September 8th as the Series resumes in the fall.

The standings list is sure to shrink as we pass the fifth race which causes only series-scoring eligible runners will be shown. Don’t let yourself fall off the standings!

You don’t need to run in the series to race in these trail races – they are open to any who want to run! When you are ready for the challenge, we’re here for you!

Mr Trail Mix Retires

“Mr Trail Mix” Charles Vaccaro at Run the Farm 2019

Charles Vaccaro, who had run in EVERY SINGLE TRAIL MIX RACE through 2019(!) — all thirty-THREE races in that span — has moved out of the area. He’s the only one with that streak from 2014-2019. He will always be “Mr Trail Mix” in our world! (Note: Charlie did run in the 2022 Loop so his Trail Mix Streak is really 34 consecutive trail mix races! And he will be making appearances from time to time in the upcoming Trail Mix races.)

Trail Mix 2020 Remaining Races Update

Dear Trail Mix Runner,

We wanted you to know that there are two races in the Trail Mix Series that are happening this year.  

Next up is Where the Pavement Ends from Sept 11-13. The race will be held in a hybrid-virtual format.

That means you run the actual course on your own time, upload proof of your run, and claim your Cake Box cupcake!

For this year’s race, you can run the course between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. from Friday, September 11th through Sunday, September 13th

What are you vying for? Every participant will receive a “finisher cupcake” by printing out your bib and presenting it at the Ridgefield Cake Box location (in lieu of shirts this year). 

Top 3 overall male and female finishers will get a gift certificate for a box full of cupcakes. 

Every finisher that uploads a time to be verified will be eligible for a Ridgefield Running Company gift card!

How’s THAT for motivation‽

To register, click here. If you’d like more information about the details of the race and other FAQ, click here for the race guide.

We hope to see your name pop up on the results!

Nancy, Megan, and the Pavement Ends Team

PS: The Raven Rocks Run is currently still planned for November with a similar hybrid-virtual model as described above — but with several twists and additions. We think you will like them. More details to follow.
