It was as though participants were running through a fairytale at the inaugural Valley of the Trolls races on Saturday, Aug. 22 with “Gate Keepers Castle” and a variety of carved creatures and trolls scattered throughout the 150-acres at Troll Haven/Bandy Farms in Gardiner.

Nearly 200 runners and walkers competed in half marathon, 10-kilometer and 5-kilometer races.

Troll Haven also hosts a 1-mile/5K, family friendly run on Oct. 24 with trolls, costumes, lots of glow lights and more.
