_ The 2022 Forgotten Forest Ultra Trail Run:
“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” a Native American saying.
No better way to participate on Earth Day! Neatly nestled away, Roosevelt Forest in Stratford, will be brought to life with the 8TH running of the Forgotten Forest 9 Hour Ultra Run with this new date! The Ultra will run from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. on a single and double track loop with about 131 feet elevation gain each loop. All Racers, Runners, Joggers, Hikers and Walkers are invited to participate in this very friendly event with great SWAG. (update: after March 31st there is "limited swag for new registrations because of production times; may adjust after bib pickup. Thank you for your understanding). Being softer than pavement, a trail race is great training for a road ultra, too. Do as many miles or hours as you wish and get to know what works with shoes, shirts, hydration, food, etc. Please, understand experience on a trail is mandatory for safety, so a little practice is warranted. What is doable is 30, 40 or 50 miles; do that here and you are almost guaranteed to buckle (100 miles) this Summer in the epic the Centurion 24, 30, 33 hour ultra or other like the Forbidden 30 hour ultra on October 14/15 ! A very important thing to note is, this is limited to only 50 participants meaning you are not one of 200 to 400 participants, so this is your personal race for your personal best !
