About

“Trail Mix” – The Westchester-Fairfield Trail Series

We love trail running and hope you do too!

To promote trail running and races the Leatherman Harriers and several other local race organizations came up with a trail race series in the Westchester and Fairfield county area.

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

We combine results from the races in the series to determine a series winner and award special prizes. Click here for points methodology.

The Trail Mix races include:

• Mudders & Grunters (register) 5M (Yorktown Heights NY) March
• Leatherman’s Loop (loop lottery info) 10k (Cross River NY) April
• SPRING Run the Farm (register) – 4.25M – (Katonah, NY) May
• Where the Pavement Ends (register) – 4M (Ridgefield CT) September
• Paine to Pain (register) – 13.1M (Mt. Vernon NY) September
• Run The Farm  (register) – 5M (Katonah NY) October
• Raven Rocks Run  (register) – 10k – (Cross River, NY) November

Runners who complete at least four of the seven trail races in 2024 are GUARANTEED ENTRY through the Loop Lottery process in January 2025.

IMPORTANT: Runners will still need to register for the LOOP LOTTERY in January to be eligible. No late post-loop lottery entries will be accepted.

IMPORTANT NOTE #2: When you register for Trail Mix Series races, please try to be consistent with the name you register under so we can match your new races up with your other races in the series. For example, if you are Richard Smith, please don’t register under Rick Smith for one race, Rich Smith for another, Richard Smith for the third race, and Dick Smith for the fourth. To the computer, those are four different people. We can always go back and match the names by hand, but it helps tremendously if you keep it consistent. Thanks! 😉

Standings for the series are here. Standings for Men & Women are separate.

There will be an overall winner for male and female runners as well as one winner in each age/gender category.

If a runner ends the series in a different age group than he or she began it in we will tally their totals in the age group they started in. So for example if you start the series at 39 and turn 40 before the Raven Rocks Run, we will tally your totals in the 30-39 group.
