Nipmuck South Trail Race

The race is an out-and-back on the Nipmuck covering a distance of about 15.7 miles, following the lovely Fenton River for much of the course. There are three water stops along the trail and support to cross at the three road crossing. We have a race cut off of 2:00 PM. Timing will not be taken after 2 and we will assist anyone after 2:00 with returning to the start point. The trail has some interesting variations over beautiful terrain, with several small bridge crossings, a climb to a 50 ft cliff, fields, and woods. The race starts at Mansfield Hollow State Park and winds its way to Old Turnpike Road (off Route 44). Race shirts can be purchased as an add-on while registering. Shirt orders must be placed before May 22. Update! We have modified the course to bypass the missing iron bridge, and we also removed the lollipop at the turn around to try to keep the distance about the same. The new course map is here: All Trails
