Course Description
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 head 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.
The 50K will feature a two loop course with the same first 7 miles as the Half Marathon Course and then continue further north on the Mattatuck Trail for another 1 1/4 miles before a turn around. Runners will continue back the same way they came and rejoin the same route as the half for the last 10K. It's a good mix of both technical trails, fire roads, and grassy farm trails and of course that climb to the finish!
Both the 5K/5K Canicross courses are held completely on the beautiful grassy trails on the farm.
