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. The Leatherman’s Loop Lottery is open from January 3rd-6th for the limited spots in this race. Paine to Pain opens for registration on Earth Day April 22, 2025.
Series Scoring will be done via a points system with a runner’s best 4 of 7 races counted towards the final standings. Runners who complete 5 or 6 or 7 races will get to drop their lowest race(s) and that will improve their series score.
ALL races in the 2024 Trail Mix Series are complete!

PS: Let us know if you notice an error in the standings or if we have inadvertently omitted your name. We will address it – email trailmixseries@gmail.com. The most common glitch is registering under slightly different names for different trail mix races. We can fix this and all other issues. Thanks!
ProTip: Subscribe to the SundayRuns.org calendar to get all of these Trail Mix Series races (and other regular Sunday Run group runs) on your mobile calendar.
Runners can compete in the series by completing at least 4 of the 7 races. The best four count towards the point totals for the series. If runners complete five, six, or seven of the series races they can drop their lowest race(s) — only counting best 4 races.
Runners who complete the series with at least 4 races of the 7 total get automatic selection in the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery the following year. (Runners who completed the 2019 series are eligible for automatic selection in the 2020 Loop Lottery! (as long as they entered the Loop Lottery!!)
Our best way to let others know about the Trail Mix Series is YOU!
When friends tell their friends about the series from personal experience it is the best way to spread the word. If you know someone who might be interested in running in the series, please forward this note to them.
If you have any questions about the 2020 Trail Mix Series, please let us know via email.
See you on the trails!

You may see some of the Trail Mix posters and cards around Westchester and Fairfield this year. Just in case you don’t here are some images to share! 😉
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.
You are guaranteed to get picked for a spot in the Loop Lottery if you are a Trail Mix series finisher — but we can’t enter your name into the Loop Lottery automatically. We need you to sign the USATF waiver and enter your credit card to pay for your entry.
Runners can compete in the series by completing at least 4 of the 7 races in the series. The best four count towards the point totals for the series if runners complete five or six of the series races.
Runners who complete the 2018 series are eligible for automatic selection in the 2019 Leatherman’s Loop Lottery. (Runners who completed the 2017 series are eligible for automatic selection in the 2018 Loop Lottery! (as long as they enter the Loop Lottery!!)

The 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!

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.
Runners can compete in the series by completing at least 4 of the 6 races in the series. The best four count towards the point totals for the series if runners complete five or six of the series races.
Runners who complete the 2017 series are eligible for automatic selection in the 2018 Leatherman’s Loop Lottery. (Runners who completed the 2016 series are eligible for automatic selection in the 2017 Loop Lottery! (as long as they enter the Loop Lottery!!)
The races in the Trail Mix 2017 are, in chronological order:
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!
This 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.
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!
