We welcome you to the 15th edition of our great event which we continue to hold at the Walnut Beach Pavilion! Because the race is in October, the Fall leaves will have begun to change. It's a beautiful time of year to get out and enjoy the crisp air. And you'll be helping an amazing cause!
We're also bringing back our exciting gift certificate raffle this year that will include many local restaurants.

There is plentiful parking available in the Beach parking lot.
This Year's Project:
A Rwimi secondary school with about 2,000 girls and boys have depended on a very dangerous stream to provide their water needs. The stream has claimed the lives of several students and locals as they stooped to fetch the dirty water. We can help by drilling a new well and constructing a water delivery system. With your assistance we can change the lives of so many.
The areas where we drill our wells are very rural. Kids typically walk miles each day to and from the watering hole to fetch water for drinking, bathing and cooking. Unfortunately, the villagers share the water source with various animals so they have to boil it before using it. With your help, we can make this possible!
As always your contributions are fully tax deductible. We are approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization.
Events:
5K Course (3.1miles) is a computer timed event which you can RUN OR WALK. Participants will need to complete the entire 3.1 mile course to be scored in results.

One mile (approx) WALK ONLY is an untimed event. Enjoy the scenic beauty of the beaches while walking at any pace from a stroll to a power walk! There are NO Awards for this non-competitive event.

COURSE DESCRIPTION Course Maps and GPX files The Half Marathon has 2,200+ ft of cumulative gain; There is 1,000 ft of gain in the first 4 miles! The 10K has over 1,200 ft of vertical gain. Both courses are very technical route, which means that there are a lot of rocks and roots.
There are steep climbs, rocky cliffs and even a short scramble. We want to emphasize that this is a very challenging course and very different from our other events! If we have rain (or snow?), the course will be extra challenging. All of that being said - this is a beautiful course! Your hard efforts will be rewarded with sweeping views as you get to enjoy peak foliage in the Hudson Valley. Since we started hosting this event in October, we have always lucked out with amazing fall colors!

Pacers are not allowed for other runners and hikers without prior approval from the Trail Party Director.Q: Can I bring my dog?A: Sorry, but Padfoot has to stay at home for this race. Our liability insurance
does not cover dogs running our races; thank you for understanding!Q: Can I sign my kids up for the race?A: Yes! We want the WHOLE family to come out to our events! We have a special discount code for families registering 3 or more Squatches in the same household. Please email us ([email protected]) before you register so we can give you the code! Once you have the code, be sure to register your child separately and agree to the waiver for minors. And make sure to keep track of little Fred and George before during and after the Trail Party. We only have 1 search-party and they're already out there looking for Sasquatch.Q: What's the weather like in Tuxedo, NY in October?A: Cool, usually in the high 50's, low 60's. Odds are that the Trail Party will be during peak foliage!Q: This will be my first trail race. Can you share some race-strategies with me?A: Merlin's Beard! We are SO EXCITED for you! You will feel welcomed at our race and you can expect a well-marked
course. Take your time out there and enjoy the experience! You do not have to run the entire time! Do some hiking and have fun.Q: What food will you have at the aid station?A: The Leaky Cauldron is running on their inventory of butterbeer, jelly slugs, fizzing whizbees so we have to stick with the standard trial running fare. We will have a wide variety of traditional ultra running food, as well as many vegan and gluten-free items. We will also have SKRATCH!Q: I could get lost in a brown paper bag. Will the course be marked?A: We will have bright colored ribbons along the course and plenty at all of the turns. Please note: we do not allow Apparating at this trail party. Wizards and witches who apparate wil receive a DQ.Q: Will I encounter any wildlife on the course?A: Besides the centaurs and hippogriffs, Harriman State Park is home to many critters, including black bears, deer, beavers and coyotes. We are utilizing heavily trafficked trails, so it is unlikely you will encounter any
larger critters! But do make sure you watch out for the Whomping Willow.Q: I don't want to run, are there any volunteer opportunities?A: Of course! We always need Sassy Volunteers! Email us if you would like to volunteer: [email protected]: Me and my friend aren't registered for the race, but we're still planning on coming to run. We won't eat from the aid station or take a medal or swag. This is okay, right?A: NO THIS IS NOT OKAY. This is called being a "race bandit" and it is stealing. Not paying for a race and running the race is stealing from the race organization (even if you're not taking food or swag). Don't do this at a Sassquad trail party or ANY other race. It's not okay. And if you hear about someone else doing this, call them out. If you bandit a race, you will be banned from registering for any of our Sassquad events. SKRATCH We are excited to share that our friends over at Skratch Labs are official Sassquad sponsors! We will be proudly serving
Skratch Hydration at the aid stations. Sassquaders can save 20% by using the code SASSQUAD24 at skratchlabs.com SNEAKER FACTORY Thank you to our friends at Sneaker Factory, NJ!

Stop by one of our three convenient neighborhood locations and let us help you find the "perfect ride for every stride." Millburn, Florham Park and Basking Ridge. SASSQUAD TRAIL RUNNERS We are a community of SASQUATCH-lovin' trail runners and hikers. Our goal is to provide FUN and challenging events for runners of all ages and paces. We like to think that we have a good sense of humor, a full arsenal of sarcastic wit, useless trivia facts and a deep appreciation for cinematic masterpieces (as evidenced multiple times already). Follow us on
Instagram , and like us on Facebook to get all of our Squatchy updates. You can also join our Facebook group, "Sassquad Trail Runners" to connect with other runners and hikers! REFUNDS/DEFERRALS REFUND & DEFERRAL POLICYLike many other race organizations, we do not offer refunds for our events. Please take the time to double-check your calendar before registering for a Trail Party. Please understand that we do not offer refunds under any circumstances. If you notify us via email (not through social media, text, or phone call) more than 21 days from the date of the Trail Party, we will extend a deferral to any of our events that fall within one calendar year of the Trail Party that you were registered for, minus 15% of the registration fee that you originally paid. If you sustain an injury less than 21 days from the race date, we will extend a 100% deferral if you come to that race to volunteer. For distances less than 50K, you'll need to volunteer for at least 4 hours and for 50M+
distances, you'll need to volunteer for at least 8 hours to get a 100% deferral. If the race that you want to drop from is sold-out with an active wait-list and are able to fill your spot: if you notify us via email (not through social media, text or phone call) at least 3 days before the race, we will extend a deferral to any of our events that fall within one calendar year of the Trail Party that you were registered for, minus 15% of the registration fee that you originally paid. The race credit is the amount that you paid for the race, minus 15% (total credit does not including UltraSignUp fees) so you will need to cover any difference in fees; refunds will not be issued if the deferred event costs less than your race credit. You can only defer one time so please double-check that you can make the race you're deferring to. PREGNANCY, ADOPTION, & POSTPARTUM POLICYWhether planned or unplanned, the beginning or end of a pregnancy requires healing and recovery time. We are committed to
supporting you in this regard. If you are experiencing a pregnancy or postpartum healing and recovery, or have adopted a child, we are pleased to offer a deferral of up to three years from the current event. Simply send us an email and we will arrange the deferral for you. This deferral policy includes partners and spouses and is also extended to folks who are going through the IVF process. COMMUNITY CARE DEFERRAL POLICYWe recognize that the current climate around immigration enforcement, including ICE activity, is creating real fear and barriers to training, travel, and participation. Any registered participant who feels unsafe may request a deferral of their race entry for up to three years from the original race date, no questions asked. For anyone who still wants to participate but is feeling hesitant, our Squatch Together Program offers the option to be paired with another runner or hiker for support before, during, and after race day. Your safety, dignity, and sense of belonging come
first. Event's current local time: 4:52 AM ET
The 2nd Annual Give Life NY 5K Run/Walk is to raise awareness for organ donation. The Co-directors of the event, Mindy Davidson and Bob Goldfarb are runners and non-directed living donors, and the race committee is made up of organ donors and organ recipients.
This event is open to everyone. We welcome your participation. You do not need to be a donor or a recipient to participate.

Ridgefield Half-Marathon 7:15 AM
Ridgefield 7-Miler 7:15 AM
Iris Fund 5K 7:30 AM
These races feature classic fall New England scenery. The races are beginner-friendly, and you will run through some of the prettiest roads in Fairfield County! The race starts on East Ridge Road, just above The Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield, with a few gradual climbs to keep you honest. It then settles into a nice rolling course that winds through southern Ridgefield for two loops that showcase some of the flattest miles in the town. With a fast downhill into downtown Ridgefield and back to the Boys and Girls Club, where you're sure to finish strong and smiling!
This race’s primary benefactor is the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield. The Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield is a national award-winning youth activity center designed to offer programs for school-aged children after school and during vacations in five core areas: The Arts, Character & Leadership, Education, Health & Life Skills, and Sports, Fitness & Recreation.
The 5K proudly supports The Iris Fund, founded in loving memory of Iris Crystal Aleman. Dedicated to ending the heartbreak of prematurity, the Fund fuels research into the triggers of labor and supports families facing high-risk pregnancies and loss.
Everyone who donates $10 or more to the Boys & Girls Club through the registration platform (RunSignUp) will be entered into a raffle for some great prizes! Donating $25 will get you two entries. We will be raffling off items to be announced at a later time.

But 349 people started on a journey that has continued to raise money for the
Trumbull High Scholarship Foundation for 35 years.
Marty has retired from THS, a lot has changed, but the reputation built over 3+ decades is solidly in place.
We are planning a party and we hope you'll be part of it.
Our food has always been a large part of the attraction.

5k COURSE - https://onthegomap.com/s/a8jgjd8a
you can run it, walk it, or any combination thereof. It has some hills,
flat spots, and a GREAT DOWNHILL from 1 mile to 1.3mi that everyone seems to forget about...
it is Trumbull so enjoy the scenery.
This course is actually a throwback. Over 75% of it is from the original 1991 course!
It has some changes (at the suggestion of the TPD)
and it does bring back the famous "Laurie Rd hill" that will challenge you in the last mile.
But don't worry, the last 6/10 mi is downhill and flat!
NOTE- due to safety issues or a lack of volunteers there may not be any water stop on the course with open water cups.
Please be prepared to pre-hydrate and carry your own fluids and NOT drop anything along our neighborhood!
The 1.7mi non-timed walk only course- https://onthegomap.com/s/3bu3pkfo
It’s PRETTY DARN FLAT the whole way!
The kids runs are on the track! YES, THE TRACK IS STILL FLAT

Police will be on duty at the lot and at key intersections on the course.
A BIT OF HISTORY-
The temperature was in the low 60's, warm for a late Fall run. It started at 10 am on Sunday, Oct 27, 1991,
with Biology Teacher (now retired) Marty Schaivone yelling "GO!". The inaugural 5k run had 349 finishers-
a very high number for a new, local event.
Pat Swift and Allison Suchenski (Trumbull High alum) were the inaugural champions.
Within a few years, it became one of the top races in CT reaching a high of over 800 registrations in the late '90s.
It was redesigned as a four mile course in 1993 to acommodate a unique State Championship and stayed that way till 2016.
Featured runners included the iconic Bill Rogers, top American Laura Mykotok, two Olympians, and champions from six different countries!
Residents from nearly all 169 towns in CT have finished our event. It also played host to an amazing
“Marisa’s Restaurant Community Pasta Party” the night before for over 10 years.
THANK YOU ALL- As we celebrate our 36th year we thank our past and current school administrators,
faculty, students, neighbors, and friends who have contributed immeasurably.
The countless committee members that have helped keep the GPC alive and fun.
We thank YOU for joining us on any level whether live, virtual or as a donor.
Our students will benefit from your commitment.
WE WELCOME SPONSOR PARTNERS AT ANY LEVEL.
There are many opportunities and a great need to cover our costs for shirts, timing, facilities, police, food and much more.
Every partner helps us to donate to our scholarship fund, clubs teams, and the students involved. Sponsor a mile!
Or the starting line. Or help the student fundraising teams.
Get your name on the shirts or even the bibs. Become a ‘named’ sponsor underneath the Great Pumpkin Classic!
There’s a lot to choose from.
SPONSOR CONTACT Marty Schaivone [email protected] ASAP!
We will keep this site updated and let all pre-registered know what’s going on.
If we are forced to go virtual please understand we can’t refund your registration.
We purchase shirts, bibs, pins, etc., at least two weeks in advance. We pay nonrefundable deposits
on some items and buy food and fluids ahead of time.
IF THE PUMPKIN GOES VIRTUAL
This will occur only if mandated by Federal, State, Local, or School administrators. Your health and safety are our top priority.
We understand that this event has a great impact on the community, supports many wonderful causes, and is great for the town of Trumbull.
We encourage you to participate this year in a meaningful way and do so on your own terms.
You may decide to go virtual on your own though you entered to run or walk in person.
If you chose to do this you will be able to enter your time and see where you stack up! Just let us know.
If you decide on your own to participate in a virtual form we would still appreciate it if you could pick up your swag ahead of time.
It is difficult and very costly to mail these items. We will do our best to drop off locally after the event.
