Angevine Farm Half Marathon

Description:

A great mid-summer trail race with a mix of grassy fields, land trust trails, state forest trails and single track, dirt roads, and plenty of challenging climbs. The race offers a chance to run on unique and seldom used trails. There will also be a 1 mile kids race on the farm to make this a fun and family themed event for all!

The Angevine Farm Half Marathon begins at ends at the northern end of the Angevine Farm near the main parking for the tree farm area. Runners will do a 1.7 mile loop on the farm before crossing Angevine Rd. onto a mix of single track/double track trails on the farm for the next mile. They will then enter the Wyantenock State Forest where they will run on old City Hill Rd. before turning onto the Mattatuck Trail at 3.7 miles into the race. Moving north on the mostly single track Mattatuck Trail, runners will experience mostly technical trails though most of is very runnable. Reaching the turnaround point at Hardscrabble Rd. at approximately 7 miles, they will return the same way they came on the Mattatuck Trail and through the Wyantenock State Forest. At about 11.3 miles they will west on City Hill Rd. (an abandoned road turned into a trail owned by the Warren Land Trust) before turning south onto Angevine Rd. A quick trip on the pavement and runners are back on the farm for a smaller loop of the tree farm and to the finish.
