FOUR races in the 2026 Trail Mix Series are complete – there are still THREE series races coming up in the Fall!
We are looking forward to seeing you at Paine to Pain on Sunday October 11th as the Trail Mix Series continues this fall.
The THREE REMAINING Trail Mix Series Races are:
• Paine to Pain 10/11 •
• Run the Farm 10/25 •
• Raven Rocks Run 11/8 •
After four races completed, the series is starting to take shape, with a few runners already building substantial leads by completing all four events.
At this stage, only runners who have participated in at least one of the Trail Mix Series 2026 races remain eligible for the series. The good news is there are 1,388 runners who have finished at least one race in the series — so let’s run!
There is still plenty of opportunity for movement with Paine to Pain, Fall Run the Farm and Raven Rocks Run remaining.
The series has now attracted 1,388 unique runners. Five men have completed four scoring races, while no women have yet reached four. Because final standings require at least four completed races and only the best four scores ultimately count, the next three events will be especially important.
On the men’s side, M40 Matthew Beale leads with 394.18 points, just ahead of M30 Ian Stowe with 392.81. Andrew Kibbee, Justin Pomerenke and Brian Clinton round out the current men’s top five. All five have four races completed.
The women’s standings remain wide open because each of the current top five has completed three races. F40 Lindsey Felling leads with 299.72 points, followed by F30 Natalia Gribova (286.45), F19 Ryann Engelbracht (276.25), F40 Erin Dougherty (265.59) and F40 Colleen Stapleton (262.16).

The Best-Four Rule Is About to Matter
The next event, Paine to Pain on October 11, marks an important stage in the series. For runners reaching a fifth scoring race, the standings will begin to reflect the best four scores rather than simply accumulating every result. A strong fall performance can therefore replace a weaker spring score instead of merely adding to the total.
For runners sitting on two or three races, the remaining three events provide the opportunity to reach the four-race minimum required for the final standings. That combination — runners trying to qualify while the most active runners begin dropping their lowest scores — should make the final three races much more consequential.
Completing more than 4 races in the series lets runners drop everything except their best 4 results. This can only work to your advantage if you are dropping lower scoring races.
Participation has been substantial through the opening four races, with 1,388 different runners appearing in at least one event. Of those, 5 runners — 5 men and no women — have completed all four races, while another 30 runners — 19 men and 11 women — have completed three. 82 runners have completed two races in the series — 50 men and 32 women. In the largest group, 719 men and 552 women have completed one race for a total of 1,271 runners who need to finish the next three races to remain eligible and be scored. You can do it!
The dynamics will become particularly interesting once runners begin recording their fifth finish. Since only the best four of seven scores count toward the championship, additional races will give the most active runners opportunities to discard weaker performances and improve their series totals.
The standings list will contract with the next race (Paine to Pain Trail Half Marathon) on October 11th.
You don’t need to participate in the series to race in these trail races – they are open to any who want to run!

The FULL LIST of remaining races in the series is:
- Paine to Pain (Oct 11)
