The Location:

Start and Finish next to the Blue Hills Trailside Museum, 1907 Canton Avenue (Rt. 138), in Milton. Directions: From Route 93 (Rt. 128), take Exit 2 to Rt. 138 North (“Milton”). Follow Rt. 138 for 1.2 miles to the parking lots for the Trailside Museum and the Blue Hills Ski Area.
|
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:

Marathon Sports gift certificates for the overall winners, and home-baked goodies for age group winners. Post-race refreshments (soda, juice, fruit, cookies, chips, etc.). Restrooms available at the registration area.
