Course and features
The 10-mile and 5-mile courses are run simultaneously and finish at Ghiloni Park. The routes go through the hills of Marlborough and Hudson and have course marshals and photographers along the way. GPX files are available for both courses.
Race rules and services include awards for top finishers in both races, a prize draw with donations from local businesses, and an award for the largest team. The 5-mile event is open to walkers and runners. A 2:15 time limit applies to the 10-mile race; runners who have not reached the 10/5 split after 40 minutes will be directed to the 5-mile finish line by volunteers. A club member will perform the national anthem and post-race refreshments are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
