From the Organizer
Enjoy the picturesque Mendon Ponds Park, complete with wonderful fauna filled trails, perfect inclines (gotta be positive about them) and a great way to spend a Friday Night!
The course is a 4-mile-ish loop; therefore 8 milers do 2 loops. Trail shoes are highly recommended. As a true trail run, cross country spikes are not suggested.
It is highly suggested to carry your own fluids. There are no hydration stops on the 4-mile course, 8-mile participants can fill up at the end of loop 1. Being a CUP FREE EVENT please carry a reusable cup with you and don't just drink from the spout. It can be the surface of the sun hot & humid.
By registering for this event, you are acknowledging that the date, time, location, and distance of the race may be changed, switched to virtual, or canceled at any time as deemed necessary by the Race Directors due to circumstances beyond their control. In the event that any of these scenarios happens or any other, there will be no refunds, transfers, or deferrals allowed unless otherwise stated.
