Connecticut Ultra Traverse CUT112
The Connecticut Ultra Traverse is a point-to-point trail running event offering two distances that follow the blue blazes of the New England Trail to the Guilford waterfront. The event links long sections of singletrack, ridges, state parks, and preserves across Connecticut.
- 112 miles Point-to-point on the New England Trail blue blazes to Guilford
- 50 miles Last section of NET via Mattabesset and Menuncatuck trails to Guilford
The course is not marked except by the blue blazes; runners must navigate and stay on the blazes. Roads along the route remain open to traffic. The terrain includes technical traprock ridges and trail features that require night-running experience and careful footing. The route lists about 16,722 feet of vertical gain and is subject to annual minor changes as trails evolve.
Entrants are required to send a donation to the Connecticut Forest and Parks Association to finalize entry and to provide proof of that donation to the organizer; donations are nonrefundable. Runners are expected to provide or arrange their own safety and crew support; organizers will offer guidance and shared resources but not full crew services. The event is not a traditional permitted race, the race director may deny entry, and runners should expect multi-day effort durations typically in the 30 to 45 hour range.
