The Reservoir Trail in the Middlesex Fells is a moderate trail run at 6 miles and about 750 feet of vertical gain. We will meet at the South Dam Road Parking Lot at 6:15pm, and plan to start running 6:20pm.

These runs will occur every Monday through the spring and summer, and will be posted here weekly. They are for anyone who is new to trail running, is a frequent trail runner and would like to meet other trail runners, or is training for a race and looking to tack on more miles during the week. Please sign up when you are coming so we know whether to expect you!

The pace will be a moderate 10:00-10:30/mile. For those that are new to trail running, know that it tends to be significantly slower than road running. You can expect this run to feel like running 8 miles at a 8:00/mile pace on flat road.

Depending on the number of people who attend as well as interest, some nights we might split into a faster group and a slower group, but the standard run is described above.

Fees: There will be no fees associated with this trip.

• You could also bike and/or run!

Gear:
