    Where the Pavement Ends Trail Races are set for Sunday, September 20, 2026

    You can do one loop of the course or do two loops for a “Pavement Double”!

    The race starts and ends at Lake Windwing ballfields in Ridgefield, CT. The 4.25-mile course (single loop) begins at 7:30 AM, and the 8-miler (approximate double loop) begins at 7:00 AM. The course runs through the Hemlock Hills/Pine Mountain open space areas. It's technical, rocky, and sublime. If you are not an experienced trail runner, we recommend choosing the 4.25-mile course.

    This race is part of the Trail Mix Series—Westchester-Fairfield Trail Mix Series: a series of seven trail races. The results from all the races are combined to determine a series winner and award special prizes.

    Ready, Set, RACE!

    Join us for the first annual New Pond Farm Hayfield Hustle! Choose from a scenic 5 mile, 5k, or Children's Sap fun run through the hayfields and byways of New Pond Farm, all finishing with a rollicking family-friendly Oktoberfest celebration. Races benefit New Pond Farm Education center, a nonprofit dairy farm of distinction and environmental education center. We educate and inspire each generation to become stewards of the land by championing conservation and sustainable farming practices to protect and preserve our natural world.

    The 5 mile race features gentle hills along rolling pastures, with waterfall views as you pass the Mark Twain Library, and finishes with a dash through our dairy barn.

    The 5K begins through the picturesque farmland, includes some challenging hills along winding country roads, and finishes with a fast and easy downhill run through our dairy barn.

    The Children's Sap run highlights the stream, pond, and animals of New Pond Farm, and will be untimed.

    Participants are welcome at all paces, including walkers. Jogging strollers are only allowed on the 5k course.

    Race registration includes entry into our family friendly Oktoberfest, which includes live music, a scavenger hunt throughout the 102 acres of pasture and woodlands, games, hay rides, and of course frosty beer. Food will be available for purchase.
