Shenipsit Striders Summer Fatass - August 15, 2026
The Shenipsit Striders Summer Fatass is an eight-hour trail running event held in Tolland, Connecticut at Crandall's Pavilion on August 15, 2026. Participants run repeated loops on an approximately 5K course through trails, with the start and finish located at the pavilion. Runners may complete as many or as few loops as they wish during the eight-hour period.
The event has a social focus as well as running. Music will be playing and there will be food available including pancakes in the morning, burgers and hot dogs during the day, and drinks. The gathering is organized as a potluck with a communal signup for snacks, desserts, or dishes. The race is organized by the Shenipsit Striders, a nonprofit trail running club founded in 1975. The club fields members from across Connecticut and the New England region. Race proceeds support Connecticut trail stewardship and land use programs.
