WWII Veterans Memorial Trail Weighted Race
The WWII Veterans Memorial Trail Weighted Race is scheduled for October 17, 2026 in Mansfield, MA. The event is the third annual running of a weighted race format held on Mansfield's WWII Veterans Memorial Trail, a route dedicated to people who travelled the former Old Colony Railroad Line from Camp Myles Standish in Taunton to the Boston port of embarkation.
The format gives competitors a six hour time limit to complete as many laps as they can while carrying a chosen weight each lap. Laps are measured on an out-and-back course that is at least 2.5 miles long and includes paved, gravel, and grass surfaces. Participants are weighed with their pack or weight system at the start and finish of each lap; the lower of the two weights for that lap is multiplied by the lap distance to produce a pound-miles score. The event uses the unit Kz to refer to pound-miles. Competitors may add, reduce, or keep weight between laps, but the final lap must be finished before the six hour clock expires for that lap to count.
The listing shows an entry price of USD 76.87 and a registration close time of October 16 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
