The Course:
A rolling course over dirt roads and forest paths in the Houghton’s Pond section of the scenic DCR 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!
