Standings Update – Fall 2025 – Post Run the Farm Race #6

• Women’s Series Standings to date •

• Men’s Series Standings to date •

SIX races in the 2025 Trail Mix Series are complete!

We are looking forward to seeing you at Race #7 in the series — Raven Rocks Run — on Sunday November 9th as the Trail Mix Series continues in the fall.

The LAST REMAINING Trail Mix Series Race is:

• Raven Rocks Run 11/9 •

We have sorted the completed races in the tables linked above by races scored to date (not by an average per race).

This sort 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.

You can sort by any column in the linked table by clicking on the column heading — and you can also search for a division (e.g. F30) or a name (e.g. Sullivan).

The runners lower in the sorted standings but with higher race averages might potentially catch some of the front runners if they do more races in the series.

These series standings reflect the BEST 4 Races scored to date – and you can always sort the table by average points per race if you want to see that listing.

Women’s Series – Click/Tap to view complete listing

In the women’s trail mix series, Cassandra Ring has maintained the lead after running 5 races in the series. She has also completed the series and any additional races will replace existing races if she scores higher in the upcoming races.

Natalia Chernova (F30 leader) is 2nd and Teren Block (F50 leader) is 3rd overall right now. Natalia has run in five of the six Trail Mix series races to date and Teren has run in four.

Kate Sears (F40 leader) is fourth and Abby Segalman (F20 leader) is fifth to date. Both have run 4 races and qualify for the Trail Mix Series in 2025.

Mary Fasciana and Lindsey Felling are sixth and seventh. Lindsey has the highest average per race at 99.61 but she needs one more race to qualify for scoring.

Eden Knight is in eighth place and leads in the FJr category (14-18).

Erin Dougherty and Colleen Stapleton round out the top 10 overall and need to complete the Raven Rocks Run in order to qualify for a complete 2025 Trail Mix Series.

Abigail Scudder leasts in the F70 category with three races completed.

Eileen Segalman leads the F60 category with 4 races complete.

There are no eligible women in the FKd category (14 & under).

A total of 28 women are eligible to finish the Trail Mix Series 2025. Eight already have qualified with four races complete.

Twenty other women have three races complete. If they want to qualify for the 2025 Trail Mix Series scoring – and guaranteed selection if they enter the Leatherman’s Loop 2026 Lottery – they must complete the Raven Rocks Run.

All Trail Mix Series 2025 women with 3 or more races in the series completed to date – Red text indicates runner is leading their age bracket (please let us know at trailmixseries@gmail.com if you think we missed you or made a mistake)

Men’s Series – Click/Tap to view complete listing

Eamonn Sullivan is ranked first overall in the series with top finishes in Mudders & Grunters, Where the Pavement Ends, and in Fall Run the Farm. He also had third overall in the Loop, second in Spring Run the Farm, and seventh in Paine to Pain.

Only the top 4 get used for scoring. This means if Eamonn wins the Raven Rocks Run – which he has done for the past 3 years – he will end with a perfect 100 average in the 2025 Trail Mix Series.

Second place is held by Daniel Nelson (M40 leader). Edmund Dee is in 3rd overall.

Ben Kleaveland is fourth overall with Tom Curley ( M50 leader) in fifth.

Gerry Sullivan is sixth overall and Jonathan Moffly (M60 leader) is ranked #7.

Andrew Booth is in 8th overall. Steve Moore (M30 leader) is in ninth place. Patrick Stevener is in tenth place.

All runners in the top 10 to date have all completed at least four Trail Mix Series races and qualify for scoring and automatic selection in the 2026 Leatherman’s Loop Lottery if they enter.

Eamonn Sullivan and Andrew Booth are the only runners in the 2025 to have finished all SIX Trail Mix Races to date.

We have updated the official results in the Men’s Series Standings.

Timothy Harrison leads the MJr category (14-18) with 3 races completed. Connor Jackson leads the M20 category with 4 races completed.

Spencer Lee leads in the MKd category (13 & under) with three races complete.

Ed Moore (shown in the full men’s standings) leads in the M70 category. There are no competitors in the 2025 Trail Mix Series in the M80 category.

A total of 53 men are eligible to finish the Trail Mix Series 2025. Twenty one of the 53 have completed four or more races while 32 have three races and need to c0mplete the Raven Rocks Run to qualify for scoring and automatic selection in the Leatherman’s Loop 2026 Lottery.

Just the TOP 30 men – Red text indicates runner is leading their age bracket – green #3 means they have run in 3 races to date and need the Raven Rocks Run to finish the series with 4 races.

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 — but not by very much at this point.

The standings list is also sure to shrink further as we pass the final race (Raven Rocks Run).

Completion of the sixth race leaves the participation threshold far behind since it is impossible to join the list unless you have at least three Trail Mix Series race completed (minimum of three races complete after the sixth of seven).

If you have 3 races complete, don’t let yourself fall off the standings! Sign up for the final race ASAP!

You don’t need to participate in the series to race in any of these trail races – the races are open to any who want to run!

But… When you are ready for the challenge, we’re here for you!

The FULL LIST of remaining races in the series is:

Sign up today! Hope to see you on the trails!

Final Standings Update will be published after Raven Rocks Run.

Trail Mix – New Westchester/Fairfield Trail Series

Leatherman’s Loop Founders Newsletter, Volume 5

When Caballo Blanco gave me the name “El Co-Padre” I knew that it came with expectations and responsibilities in terms of my role as a trail race facilitator. He brilliantly matched his love of trail running with the social needs of the Tarahumara People who live in and run the Copper Canyons of Mexico. His vision for a running race which could help to ease the day to day burdens of the people he loved became a reality.

Christopher McDougall’s best seller Born To Run pulls most of the story out of a very private and very guarded Caballo. He was not exactly the person in the pages of the book. Simply put, he was better. I will always do my best to honor his memory and his ways with everything that I do related to trail running and racing.

That being said, Rob Cummings and I and a couple of other trail race organizers have come up with a plan which would link four local races together and give runners the opportunity to compete and be scored in a “Trail Mix” circuit.

If enough of you are interested and like the idea this will happen. Shortly after the last race in the circuit Rob will post full results using cumulative times and an awards banquet will follow. There will be an overall winner for male and female runners as well as winners in each age/gender category.

Fabulous Four

The kicker: Any runner who has asked to be tracked in the “Trail Mix” circuit and who registers to run in all three Fall Trail Mix races listed above will earn Guaranteed Lottery Selection for the Leatherman’s Loop in Spring 2015 to complete the series. You will still need to enter the Loop Lottery in January 2015 to register for the Loop — but you will be selected in the Loop Lottery.

(See our frequently asked questions and answers about the Trail Mix here)

Your response and feedback is needed

If you think that this is a good plan you simply need to respond to this newsletter and say that you are interested. Questions and feedback are welcome.

I am proud to say that I founded two of the races and played a role in bringing about the other two. The Loop was part of a twelve race series in the late 1980’s and participation involved travel in four states. These races are all within a ten mile radius. My hope is that my effort to fulfill my assigned responsibilities as a trail race facilitator will be taken to a new level.

Tony
