Where: Houghton’s Pond Main Parking Lot, 0.2 mi. west of the Blue Hills Reservation HQ, 695 Hillside Street, Milton, MA 02186.  Directions:  From Route 93 (Rt. 128), take Exit 2 to Rt. 138 North (“Milton”).  Turn right at the first full set of traffic lights (Mobil station is on left corner).  Drive one mile to stop sign, and continue straight.  The Houghton’s Pond parking lot is on the right, 0.2 mi. after the stop sign. 

 

The Course: A rolling course over dirt roads and forest paths in the Houghton’s Pond section of the scenic Blue Hills Reservation, a 7000-acre state-owned park just south of Boston.   The course avoids steep hiking trails, but this IS a trail race, with plenty of small rocks and tree roots along the way!
