The Courses:
|
Come run on miles of beautiful trails in the scenic Blue Hills Reservation, just south of Boston. The well-marked courses follow dirt roads and forest paths, except for short paved sections at the start and finish of the races.
The FOX TROT (10 miles) offers a mix of double and single-track trails with some hilly and rocky stretches. There are three water stops.
The BUNNY HOP (3 miles) is recommended for new trail-runners. This course offers easier terrain on wide paths--but this is still a trail race, with plenty of small rocks and tree roots along the way! There is one water stop.

Amenities:

Overall winners in each race receive Marathon Sports gift certificates and loaves of home-baked banana bread. Age group winners receive chocolate-chip cookies. Post-race refreshments include soda, juice, bananas and trail munchies (cookies, chips, pretzels, etc.).
