Who are we?

The Shenipsit Striders are a running club whose members share a joy of being in the woods. Our membership ranges from walkers and fitness runners to athletes competing in trail races, road races, orienteering and adventure races, snowshoe races and more ranging from sprints all the way up to ultra-marathon distance events.
 

The club sponsors a trail 24km and concurrent 6km trail sampler in May, a grueling trail hill assault in the summer, and a moonlight run in the winter.

Training and social runs are held in various locations in Eastern CT. Check out the calendar or our Facebook page for upcoming runs.

Quotes from the 2009 Soapstone Races

  • "let me commend you on running a fantastic race. Soapstone and the Boston Marathon are the two races I look most forward to during the year. There's no race quite like it"
  • "My son and a friend in town both ran the race. They just started entering races about 1 month ago and this one was the favorite so far!! What a great event your organization has put together, we will be back!"
  • "I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much fun I had today at the race. This was, by far, one of the funnest races I have ever been in!!!!! The trails were so well marked and everyone was sooooo nice!!! Thanks again!! Looking forward to next year!"
  • "Thanks for a great race today. My first one and I found the course very well marked, maybe some mucky mud and water, slick rocks, but those white dots were abundant for sure! It was a great experience, thanks again for making it all come together so nicely ;-)"
