Storybook Half Marathon
The Storybook Half Marathon takes place on November 21, 2026 at Roosevelt Forest, 700 Peters Lane, Stratford, CT. The event uses a marked trail course through wooded terrain and is organized as multiple loops.
The course consists of a 1.64 mile wooded loop on marked singletrack and doubletrack trails with roots, rocks, and gently rolling hills. Participants complete eight loops to cover 13.1 miles. Runners are allowed up to four hours to finish; some prior trail experience is helpful though not required.
Participants may include racers, runners, joggers, ruckers, hikers, and walkers. A main pavilion aid station provides hydration and snacks on each loop; participants with specific dietary needs are advised to carry their own fuel. Event items include a commemorative participant item and non-alcoholic beer from Athletic Brewing. T-shirts and additional gear are available for purchase during registration, with limited sizes available on race day. Podium prizes are awarded to the top three male and the top three female finishers.
Registration is final: no refunds, bib transfers, or deferrals. Organizers will follow applicable CDC, state, and local health guidance. Participants must be 18 years or older to enter without a parental waiver. Organizers provide information on parking and restrooms and ask participants to follow posted site rules.
