Lace up for the 5th annual 8 Hours at the Farm, an engaging timed-event trail race presented by Steep Endurance on November 1, 2026, in scenic Brookfield, CT. This unique event, hosted at Gurski Farm/Williams Park, offers runners a choice between 8-hour and 4-hour challenges, along with a new 5K and 5K Canicross option for 2026. The course features an approximately 4-mile loop winding through a mix of single track and rolling farm trails, extending through Brookfield High School property. While generally described as a rolling country-type course with nothing overly technical, some runners note it can be deceptively tough, presenting challenging climbs and descents characteristic of East Coast trails with roots and rocks.

Runners consistently praise the awesome trail running community environment, where the looped course design means you'll frequently see and cheer on your fellow competitors. To further foster camaraderie and safety, personal music devices are strongly discouraged, encouraging participants to soak in the atmosphere and connect with others. The single aid station, conveniently located at the start/finish area, also serves as your drop bag zone, making this event highly accessible for both supported and self-supported runners. Post-race, celebrate your accomplishment with plenty of food and beverages, including offerings from Athletic Brewing Company.
