Lake Mohegan Women’s Trail Race

The Lake Mohegan Trail Race is a women’s only trail race event in Fairfield, CT. Steep Endurance is trying to bring more awareness to the availability of trail running for women. Typically 30-40% of participants in trail races are women. In 2024, we had 125+ runners! Lake Mohegan, with its very runnable/variety of trails, make for an ideal backdrop for this type of event and gives NEW women trail runners a great introduction to trail running, but also provides a great course for those more experienced participants. The race will also be open to non-binary runners as well.

Three different events will be offered: 5K, 10K, and a 4 hour option for participants to run/walk as many miles in the allotted time on the 5K loop.

The race will have aid stations, swag/awards, and a post-race celebration. Each participant will also receive a baggie of goodies at the beginning of the race.

There is plenty of parking onsite. Race headquarters will be located just to the east in the field above the parking lot.

Late April is a beautiful time of year in this part of CT with cool mornings. Average high temperatures are usually close to 60 with low temperatures in the 40’s.
