The Dick Pond Athletics - Darn Tough Trail Race Series 2026

Chauncey’s 4 at The Farm is the first of four events in the Dick Pond Athletics Darn Tough Trail Series, comprised of:

· Chauncey’s Trail Stampede (April 11, 2026)

· Hickory Knolls Trail Run (June 7, 2026)

· Summer Trail Classic (August 23, 2026)

· Big Timber XC Challenge (November 8, 2026)

Those who register for and finish each of the above will receive a BONUS premium swag item at Big Timber in November.

There is nothing more to pay – You can register for the Series (details below) or you have the option to sign up once registration opens for each event … finish each run … and the extra swag is yours! Participants who completed the Series last year walked away with a super-sweet car seat cover/transition towel..

The Course: The one-loop 4.1-mile course consists of wide limestone and grass/wooded trail pathways meandering over the gently rolling terrain of the expansive and wooded St James property. The total distance of the course and the mile marks shown on the attached course map are approximated.

The grass & wooded trail portions of the course are indicated on the map. Expect to encounter uneven ground, partially exposed roots and rocks, and other conditions common to a natural environment such as possible fallen branches and/or trees, water-sodden or muddy areas. Any of these can cause a stumble or fall that could result in personal injury to you. St James Farm is open to the public prior to race day, so we encourage you to visit the site to preview the course at your leisure. If you have any trepidation about the conditions, please do not sign up for this event. There are NO refunds once registration is made.
