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!
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.
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.
There are 108 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.
William Fraoili is in fifth place with good finishes in four of the five races to date. Josh Omin is sixth just below William in total score.
Richard Peck is in seventh place with four races finished.
Edmund Dee is in eighth place with only 3 races complete. Ed can vault close to 2nd place with a top 3 showing in Run the Farm and/or Raven Rocks.
Paul Viscontini is currently in ninth 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 tenth place with Ethan Knecht very close behind in 11th place.
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!
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.
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.

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!
