The Mohawk Mountain Race is a trail running event held at Mohawk Mountain Ski Area in Cornwall, Connecticut. The event offers four distance options: a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon. The 10K repeats the 5K loop; the Marathon repeats the Half Marathon loop. Portions of the Half Marathon and Marathon take place on trails in Mohawk State Forest.
Course data provided by the organizer lists elevation gain for each distance: 5K 1332' elevation, 10K 2664' elevation, Half Marathon 3169' elevation, Marathon 6338' elevation. The 5K loop follows ski area trails including Wildwood Trail, Timber Trail, Pine, Laurel, Deer Run, Victor’s Way, Route 100, and Ledges before returning via Mohawk Trail.
Aid is available as water or electrolyte drink at the start and finish, which also serves as an aid station for the 10K. There will be at least one to two additional aid stations for Half Marathon and Marathon runners in Mohawk State Forest. The event operates a cupless policy; runners must carry their own hydration bottle, pack, or cup.
The Half Marathon is part of the Blue Blazed Trail Running Series in Connecticut. Registration opens January 1 and entry fees vary by distance and registration date.
