The 5K (3.1 mile) course loops around the beautiful and
scenic Thomas Basin (part of the Wachusett Reservoir.) |
|
First Mile:
You run either downhill or flat - and away from the West
Boylston High School - on Thomas Street. It is a very
fast first mile. |
|
Second Mile: You turn
right onto Route 140 and engage 2 rolling hills
(challenging but not crazy) as you pass by the
picturesque Old Stone Church. |
|
Third Mile: Just after
the Old Stone Church, you turn right onto Route 12 for
one-half mile of flat running. You then experience a
slight increase in elevation until you reach the
railroad train overpass. Turn right onto Goodale Street
for over one-quarter mile, climbing a challenging hill.
(Anyone ever hear of Heartbreak Hill?) One final right
onto Crescent Street for a very fast sprint to the West
Boylston Major Edwards Elementary School and the end of
the race. |
|
Note: There
will be a $25 cash prize for a runner that sets a new
course record in both the male and female divisions. |
|
* Please note: dogs,
bicycles, skateboards, roller skates and roller blades
are not allowed in the race. |
