Mohawk Mountain Race is a fall trail race at Mohawk Mountain Ski Resort in Connecticut, offering distances from 5K through marathon. The mountain, typically used for skiing and snowboarding, features routes that climb and descend on steep resort trails rather than rolling through a flat park. Even the 5K route includes 1,332 feet of elevation gain, the 10K doubles that loop for 2,664 feet, and the marathon covers 6,338 feet across two half-marathon loops. The shorter races remain on the ski mountain grounds, while the half marathon extends into Mohawk State Forest, totaling 3,169 feet of climbing. The half marathon is also part of Connecticut’s Blue Blazed Trail Running Series, which features races on or partly on the Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails and promotes awareness of the Connecticut Forest & Park Association’s trail maintenance efforts. Steep Endurance sponsors the event, targeting runners seeking a challenging trail day with consistent climbs, sharp descents, forest sections, and mountain fall foliage.

The "Spooktacular" name gives the children's run its Halloween theme.

8 Hours at the Farm is a timed trail race on a 4-mile loop at Gurski Farm/Williams Park in Brookfield, Connecticut. Runners choose the full 8-hour race or a shorter 4-hour option, both starting in the morning and ending by cutoff rather than by a fixed distance. The event also includes shorter race choices, including a 5K and 5K Canicross, so the day is not only for ultra runners. The loop mixes single track with rolling farm trails, which means runners pass the start/finish area and see the same competitors often instead of disappearing onto a point-to-point course. The race is run by Steep Endurance, is in its fifth running, and follows the group’s cupless format: aid stations provide water, electrolyte drink, and typical trail-race food, but runners must carry their own bottle, pack, or cup.
