Just as a way of background if you are not familiar with the Cambridge 5k Series going on this year. CHECK IT OUT! There are 5 races, the first one took place this past Sunday. But there are four left, two trail races and two more road races and apparently you can be on teams! Honestly, check this out and if you are one of my close dear friends in the neighborhood, you know that I am already formulating our Jewish team for the December 1 race - you know who you are! And as per my NJ and other friends not located in MA - get your butts up here and race!
The Race Schedule
Race #2 is the SASQUATCH race on July 14th
Race #3 is the BIG BAD WOLF, on September 21
Race #4 is the OKTOBERFEST on October 6
Race #5 is the YULEFEST on December 1
Ok back to the race entry at hand. Now personally, I have never done a trail race, but this one looks just amazing!!!!! It is located at the DCR Middlesex Fells on July 14th at 10 a.m. Now, if you have never been there, then this is reason enough to want to try this race out. The Fells is amazing and very close to the Stone Zoo, which happens to be the location for the post race party! Just a note race entries are filling up fast so if you do not want to wait - register here
note it is the 14th I promise
So here is what is getting me about this race...it just looks so darn enticing
(1) It is great for a beginner trail runner as it is only 2.35 miles.
(2) At the same time, an experienced trail runner may love to do this for fun or to help another newbie!
(3) You can take the Orange Line directly to the race (they offer a shuttle bus at Oask Grove before & after the race).
(4) The post race party is going to be amazing and sponsored by Notch Brewing, Slumbrew, & Pretty Things.
I am not one for trails in all honestly, but this one may just convince me otherwise. At first, I was like "I would never do a trail race," but as I look at this race more and see the pictures I am more and more enticed by this race. Also, my coach OK'd it, so now what excuse do I have.
These people look happy. They don't even look tired. I am in.
The lucky winner will receive 1 free race entry and a cool VERT hat. Two others will receive VERT Hats. Hey why not...can always use a hat.
