The long-time, beloved race tradition on Iron Horse features a picturesque two-loop 13.1 mile course along the Farmington River and local farmlands, with 10K and 5K race distance options. The post-race party is highlighted by delicious food from Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ served alongside refreshing craft beer from New England Brewing Company.

Participants in all race distances earn a short-sleeve race technical shirt and a custom finisher medal.
