From the Organizer
Located on the town line of scenic Hamilton and Topsfield, MA, this 5k/10k trail course takes runners over Vineyard Hill, through sections of Bradley Palmer State Park, along the Bay Circuit Trail, and across Greenbelt's iconic Shaw Field. Most of the trails are wide and rolling, though Vineyard Hill itself adds a challenge to this course!
There is one aid station at the Start/Finish (10k runners will pass it as they go out for their second circuit) that will have snacks, water, and sports drink. Local gift card prizes. Timing by Bay State Race Services.
Day-of registration from 7:30 to 8:45 am.
The race begins at 9:00 am.
This is a Trail Sisters Approved event. See standards here.
This race is part of the North Shore Trail Series. Sign up for the series and find results here.

From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain, not the pace, is the whole point.
