About

The Rail Trail 10K runs along a flat, car-free path following the former New Haven/Northampton Railroad Canal Line in Hamden, Connecticut.

Finishers receive a long-sleeve t-shirt and a custom medal, along with refreshments and recovery snacks. The race uses a chip-timing system with real-time results, and awards go to top finishers across various age categories. On-site amenities include parking, portable toilets, and free race photos. The event welcomes athletes of every level and offers registration transfers or deferrals under certain conditions, making it an easy, low-stress option for a fall 10K.
