Standings Update – Post “Paine to Pain”

• Women’s Series Standings to date •

• Men’s Series Standings to date •

FIVE races in the 2024 Trail Mix Series are complete!

There are TWO REMAINING Trail Mix Series Races (see links below).

 Run the Farm 10/27 • Raven Rocks Run 11/10

We have sorted the races to date by best 4 races scored to date (omitting the lowest race if 5 races were run).

This 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.

Those other runners might potentially catch some of the higher runners if they do more races in the series. These standings reflect the cumulative points effort to date – and you can always sort the table by average per race if you want.

Women’s Series

There are 47 women who have raced in 2 or more Trail Mix Series races in 2024. Many have run 3 or more races. Any who have finished 4 or more have qualified for automatic lottery selection after entering into the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery in 2025.

In the women’s 2024 trail mix series, Barbara Basbanes Richter has finished all five races to date in the 2024 Trail Mix. Barbara maintains her points lead over Lindsey Felling who stays in second place in total series points with three races compete.

Barbara along with Mary Brower are the only women who have finished all five of the 2024 races to date. Mary is in 7th place overall.

Cassandra Ring is third overall with three trail mix races completed. Teren Block is fourth and Allison Bell is fifth.

Emily Rebori and Mary Brower are sixth and seventh. Rounding out the top 10 are Celine Varin, Amy Falder, and Mary Fasciana.

Men’s Series

There are 110 men who have raced in 2 or more Trail Mix Series races in 2024. Many have run 3 or more races. Any who have finished 4 or more have qualified for automatic lottery selection after entering into the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery in 2025.

Eamonn Sullivan has placed first in each of the four Trail Mix Races this year and is ranked first overall in the series. It is now mathematically impossible for anyone but Eamonn to finish first in the men’s 2024 Trail Mix Series. Congratulations to Eamonn!

The battle for second place is on! It is currently held by Chris Irwin with Todd Henrich third overall. Todd has a lower than normal showing in the Leatherman’s Loop and if he drops it with a top showing in one of the last two races he will close the gap with Chris. Of course if Chris continues as he has run then he will be tough to catch.

Gerry Sullivan is ranked fourth overall with four races completed to date. He can also close the gap with a top finish in one of the next two races.

Josh Omin is in fifth place with good finishes in four of the five races to date. Edmund Dee is in sixth place with only 3 races complete. Ed can vault into 2nd place with a top 3 showing in Run the Farm and/or Raven Rocks.

Paul Viscontini is currently in seventh place after three races and has a great average. He will be very close to 2nd place as well with a top 3 finish in an upcoming race.

Aryeh Abelow is in eighth place with Ethan Knecht and Jordan Cramer notching 9th and 10th places respectively.

These standings are based on the best 4 races total points earned to date so they highlight and favor runners who have completed more Trail Mix Series Races. As we get closer to series completion the standings will change and some of the runners who have fewer races but higher standings will pop up higher in the standing to take over some of the top spots — but they have to finish the races first!

We are looking forward to see what Run the Farm brings on October 27th as the Series continues in October.

The standings list will shrink after we add the sixth race which will cause eligible runners with 3 races or more to be shown. Don’t let yourself fall off the standings!

If you haven’t started the 2024 series yet — you don’t need to run in the series to race in these trail races – they are open to any who want to run! When you are ready for the challenge, we’re here for you!

The remaining races in the series are:

Next Standings Update will be published after Run the Farm.

Standings Update – Post “Where the Pavement Ends”

• Women’s Series Standings to date •

• Men’s Series Standings to date •

FOUR races in the 2024 Trail Mix Series are complete!

There are THREE REMAINING Trail Mix Series Races (see links below).

 Paine to Pain 9/29 • Run the Farm 10/27 • Raven Rocks Run 11/10

We have sorted the races to date by total points scored to date (not by an average per race). 

This 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.

Those other runners might potentially catch some of the front runners if they do more races in the series. These standings reflect the cumulative points effort to date – and you can always sort the table by average per race if you want.

Women’s Series

In the women’s 2024 trail mix series, Barbara Basbanes Richter has taken over the points lead from Lindsey Felling who is now in second place in total series points with three races compete. Barbara has completed all four of the 2024 races to date – only one other woman has done that this year – Mary Brower who is currently 6th in points overall.

Cassandra Ring is third overall with three trail mix races completed. Teren Block is fourth and Allison Bell is fifth.

Emily Rebori and Mary Brower are sixth and seventh. Rounding out the top 10 are Harriet Menocal, Vanessa Wilson, and Mea Sgaglio.

Men’s Series

Eamonn Sullivan has placed first in each of the four Trail Mix Races this year and is ranked first overall in the series.

Second place is held by Todd Henrich and third overall is held by Gerry Sullivan. Both runners have run in all four 2024 Trail Mix Series races.

Chris Irwin is ranked fourth overall with only three races completed to date. He has a chance to leap into second place with a good showing in one of the next races in the series.

Jordan Cramer springs into fifth place with good finishes in three of the races to date. Michael McKenna is just a few hundredths of a point behind him in sixth.

Will Sargisson holds onto a top 10 spot — currently in seventh place after the three spring races.

Harry Chiel is in eighth place with  Eric Foxhall and Ed Moore coming in at 9th and 10th.

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 and some of the runners who have fewer races but higher standings will bubble up from below to take some of the top spots — but they have to finish the races first!

We are looking forward to see what Paine to Pain brings on September 29th as the Series resumes in the fall.

The standings list is sure to shrink as we add the fifth race which causes only series-scoring eligible runners will be shown. Don’t let yourself fall off the standings!

If you haven’t started the 2024 series yet — you don’t need to run in the series to race in these trail races – they are open to any who want to run! When you are ready for the challenge, we’re here for you!

The 2018 Trail Mix will feature SEVEN trail races in Westchester and Fairfield Counties. Yes you read right – Seven Races!

This year we have added our first new Trail Mix race in 3 years: The Paine to Pain Trail Half Marathon on October 7th!

Runners have been asking us (and the Paine to Pain folks) if we could make this happen and we are so happy to have Paine to Pain as a part of the series. The race requirement to complete the series and be scored remains at four. See details below.

Date information and links to the websites are below.

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 the best 4 races. The more races you run, the better your score becomes!

Runners who complete the series get scored and are eligible for age-category recognition and are guaranteed automatic selection in the Leatherman’s Loop Lottery the following year when they enter the Loop Lottery.

Our best way to share information about the Trail Mix Series is when friends tell their friends about the series. If you know someone who might be interested in running in the series, please forward this note to them.
