Fall Fling 400
The Fall Fling 400 at YMCA Camp Sloper in Southington is organized by the CT Trailmixers and features two race options on a roughly two-mile loop trail.
- 400-minute event: complete as many loops of the roughly two-mile course as desired within a 400 minute time limit.
- 4 Mile: complete two laps of the roughly two-mile course.
The course is mostly single-track wooded trails with some dirt and gravel road sections. Terrain includes moderately rolling hills, rocky and root-covered sections, and smoother stretches. The route will be marked with flags.
There is one aid station at the main pavilion start and finish area offering typical trail ultra food, water, and electrolyte drink; the host group also provides many baked items. Participants may set up drop bags at the main area. This is a cupless event, so participants should bring a cup or mug. Portalets are available near the start and there are indoor restrooms a few hundred feet from the aid station.
The race uses chip timing and laps are counted on that system; only laps completed within the 400 minute limit count. No pacers are allowed; only registered participants may be on course. Registrations are online only, fees include processing, registration may be capped per event, and refund protection is optional. Awards include a branded gift and finisher medal, plus recognition for top competitors and for Fanatic Series finishers. Proceeds benefit local organizations and the CT Trailmixers Shoe Scholarship Program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
