The 2025 Trail Mix Series is composed of SEVEN trail races in the Westchester/Fairfield area listed and linked below.

The Trail Mix Series 2025 kicks off with Mudders & Grunters (March 23) for the second year in a row. After that is Leatherman’s Loop (April 27) and then Spring Run the Farm (May 18). The series returns in September with four more trail races.

Links for information and registration are listed below. Five of the races: Mudders & Grunters, both Run the Farm races, Where the Pavement Ends, and Raven Rocks Run, are open for signup January 1st, 2025.

Eamonn won Mudders & Grunters, Leatherman’s Loop, both Spring and Fall Run the Farm races, Where the Pavement Ends, and Raven Rocks. He also had a second place finish at Paine to Pain. Since he completed all seven trail mix races he was able to drop his “low” scores and repeat with a 400 point total finish for the third time in the Trail Mix. Eamonn is the only runner to achieve this feat (now three times in a row!)

Leatherman’s Loop in 12 days!

leathermans-loop-trail-race-running-man-logo-tan-350x350The first race in the 2017 Trail Mix Trail Series is just 10 days away!

The Leatherman’s Loop is a 10k trail race at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. This year marks the 31st consecutive year of the Loop. The race organizers are in race mode taking care of all of the details before the race.

Note: The Loop Lottery is finished and the race is full.

One way to guarantee your Leatherman’s Loop entry is to complete the Trail Mix Series the year before. Any runner who runs in 4 or more Trail Mix Series races is eligible for automatic selection when they enter the Loop Lottery.

A few weeks after the Loop is the second race in the series: A Mild Sprain on 5/21. More on that race when the Loop concludes!

A Note About Leatherman’s Loop 2017 Entry for Trail Mix 2016 Finishers

You are guaranteed selection in the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery for 2017 ONLY IF YOU ENTER THE LOOP LOTTERY AND if you finished at least 4 of 6 races in the 2016 Trail Mix Series.

You have to register for the Loop Lottery so we know how many spots are available to the other regular entrants in the Loop Lottery.

Thanks for understanding and making our jobs easier 😉

UPDATE: If you are a Trail Mix 2016 finisher and you are reading this after the lottery has closed and you would like a late entry into the 2017 Loop due to a misunderstanding AND you are on the list of finishers at the bottom of this Final 2016 Trail Mix post here, please contact us and let us know your request. There are only around 10 runners in this situation so we can accommodate you if you let us know soon. The closer it gets to the Loop, the less flexible we will be with offering help for your situation.

Trail Mix 2017

Dear Trail Runners:

We are bringing back the Trail Mix Trail Series for a fourth year in 2017!

Trail Mix Series points are calculated as described on this page.

Standings Update – 3 of 6 Races Complete!

Three of the six Trail Mix Series races are complete for 2016. Three more remain – including the Sarah Bishop Bushwhack this Sunday 9/25.

The updated 2016 Trail Mix Standings are online now (Women’s | Men’s) Each column is sortable and the categories and runner names are searchable.

Remaining races in the 2016 Trail Mix Series are:

These races are ALL open for registration – sign up now using the links above.
Nearly 1,700 runners — 612 different women and 1,066 different men have participated in at least one of the first two Trail Mix Series events so far in 2016!

DSC_0469-1This is our 3rd Trail Mix series and we’re hoping to bring it to as many runners as possible!

If you ran in either the Leatherman’s Loop, A Mild Sprain, or Where the Pavement Ends then you are listed in the Trail Mix 2016 standings. If you did not run one of these 3 races unfortunately you can’t complete the Trail Mix Series for 2016 — but you can still register for the remaining races!

The benefits are multiple — even if you aren’t in the running to take your age category or the series: You get to hang out and race with some super (and modest) people. You get to visit and explore beautiful locations around Westchester and Fairfield Counties. And through trail racing you can connect back to nature in a way that road racing can’t match.

And if those reasons weren’t enough, there’s one more bonus: If you complete the series in 2016, you will get an automatic selection in the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery in January 2017 for the April 2017 Loop.

If you see a problem in the results or standings, please let us know ASAP. The most common problems are name differences between races (e.g. Liz and Elizabeth, Jim and James, etc.) Considering over 1,600 different runners are being tracked at this point it is not possible for us to automatically match names in the standings database with these minor differences (we need to fix them by hand). It will help immensely if you pick a “race name” and stick to it for the series races when you register. Your race series volunteers appreciate the help! 😉 If you have already registered using a different name, we can change it if you let us know.

Come on out – We’d love to see you on the trails and in the Mix!
