The Mainly Marathons New England Series Connecticut course is a paved flat course on the Iron Horse Greenway. Tentative Course Laps: 12 laps for Marathon. Due to the unique multi-loop course setup, there is one giant “aid station,” with more food and drink than you could ever need! Ask anyone … MORE

    Although this out and back course was in the middle of town, it was well shaded and lined with plenty of trees which kept the temperatures tolerable. There was only one sharp turn other than the turnaround, so one could stride out and get some speed. My only criticism was that the cones were laid out in kind of a zig zag near the finish, and I wasn’t sure whether to run on the outside of them or the inside. It might have been helpful to have some arrows.

    Took advantage of the early start in Simsbury, CT and was glad we did! The course was beautiful, flat and shady. The food was wonderful and even had a popsicle as the day started heating up. We fell in love with this charming town and highly recommend this run!

    Congrats on the back-to-back-to-back Sandy, well done! Love how your 50 States Map is shaping up, I've never seen a map with such a cool westward bias. :) Speaking of back-to-backs, I've got my own coming up in Des Moines and I see you'll be Iowa as well, so hope to see you there! LESS
