Tarrywile Half Marathon (10K-Marathon) - Nov 15, 2026 | Danbury, CT

Prepare for an exhilarating challenge at the Tarrywile Half Marathon, set to unfold on November 15, 2026, in the scenic Tarrywile Park, Danbury, CT. This Steep Endurance event offers a Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K distance, promising a demanding yet rewarding experience on 100% unpaved trails. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 52F and lows around 31F, and a modest 13% chance of precipitation, creating crisp autumn running weather for this intense trail race.

Dubbed one of the toughest trail half marathons you might encounter, the course is defined by its technical Northeast single track, replete with rocky, rooty, and consistently hilly sections. The Half Marathon alone boasts close to 3,000 feet of elevation gain over two loops, while the 10K tackles over 1,500 feet in a single loop, and the full Marathon escalates to over 6,000 feet across four loops. Participants should factor in an additional 30-45 minutes compared to their typical road half marathon times to truly appreciate the difficulty. Along the route, runners will be treated to amazing viewpoints of Danbury, tranquil lakes, and a memorable pass by the historic Hearthstone Castle.

Aid stations are strategically placed, with at least one on course in addition to the start/finish, providing multiple opportunities to refuel with water, electrolyte drinks, and snacks like potato chips, pretzels, and candy. Embracing a sustainable "cupless" policy, runners are required to carry their own hydration vessels. The Tarrywile Half Marathon is renowned for its spirited atmosphere and the substantial $600 cash bonus offered to the first male finisher under 1:45 and first female under 2:00 in the Half Marathon, a prize that grows annually until claimed. Finishers also earn medals from Ragged Cuts and can enjoy a post-race celebration with pizza, bagels, bananas, and non-alcoholic beverages, possibly accompanied by live music.
