Roxbury Fall Classic
The Roxbury Fall Classic includes three road races held in rural Roxbury, Connecticut. Courses combine paved and dirt roads and use segments of the town roads from the local weekly race series. The event includes multiple loops and out and back sections, with the start and finish at the same location near Hurlburt Park.
Distances
- Half Marathon 13.1 Miles
- Marathon 26.2 Miles
- 50K 50K
Each course features a Judds Bridge out and back section followed by one or more circuits of the Hemlock Loop. The half marathon uses a Judds Bridge out and back of roughly 9.6 miles plus a single Hemlock Loop of about 3.5 miles. The marathon has an 8.6 mile Judds Bridge out and back plus five laps of the 3.52 mile Hemlock Loop. The 50K includes a 13.5 mile Judds Bridge out and back and five Hemlock Loop laps.
Aid stations are placed so runners encounter them multiple times on looped sections, with spacing of about 2 to 3 miles and supplies of water and Gatorade. A nearby parking lot at the start and finish allows participants to access their own food and drink. Time limits are six hours for the marathon and half marathon and seven hours for the 50K. The race may be postponed or cancelled for dangerous weather and there are no refunds for cancellations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
