Nipmuck Trail Marathon
Nipmuck Trail Marathon
Shenipsit Striders organizes this race every year on the Nipmuck Trail as part of the Blue Blazed Running Series. That group defines it as "a classic old-school New England trail race taking place along a northern section of the Nipmuck Trail, consisting of a 26.4 mile ‘marathon’ and Marathon Relay." The course runs mostly in Ashford: following a 13 mile segment in the middle of the 36 mile Nipmuck Trail starting on Perry Hill Road in Ashford. The marathon runs south for 6.2 miles down to Rt 44, then back to the start, then north for 7 miles to Boston Hollow Road, then turns around and back to the finish at Perry Hill Road . The 2025 race will be held on October 5.
