## Description

Choose between a 4 or 9 mile trail race in the Cockaponsett State Forest in Chester, CT. 

The 4 miler is the first part of the 9 mile course. The course consists of roots, rocks, muddy sections and several hills. The first 1/2 mile is on a road which helps spread the runners out prior to the start of the trails.   Water stations are at miles 2, 4, 6 and 7.  

NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION.  Bib pick up opens at 8 am.  Race starts at 9 am.   Please note if you have out of state plates, the park requires you to pay a parking fee.

FREE race registration to runners 75 or older.

Trails to a Cure is part of the Blue Blazed Trail Race series.

All proceeds benefit PanCAN  in memory of Steve Hancock.

Not a runner but want to support the race?  Volunteers are needed to assist with check in process, aid stations and sweeping the course. If interested, please email rebeccaiselin@comcast.net.
