This 50k(+) is a Graduate Level run, meaning you will be on some of CT's most technical and gnarly trails: first the Regicides (West Rock's "Blue" trail) and then The Quinnipiac Trail (another of CT's famed Blue trails). Hence, the Blue 2 Blue Challenge (h/t Alex McDaniel for the idea). It is imperative that you have finished at least one (1) trail 50k in the previous 12 months- I will also consider you if you’ve completed something gnarly like Cat’s Tail or Breakneck or the like. This is definitely not a beginner’s race. There's a good 6,550 feet of climbing and the majority of it is extremely technical.
Course description: this is an out-and-back starting at West Rock Playground (alternately named Amrhyn Field) in New Haven. You'll be starting on crushed gravel for about a tenth of a mile before we put you onto the Westville Feeder…
