Type
Trail running
Trip date
Monday, May 23rd, 2022
Difficulty rating
Moderate
Prerequisites
Can run 7-8 miles at an 8:00/mile pace. No trail running experience required.

There will be a pizza party after this run. Note that we'll be meeting at Sheepfold for this run. We weren't strict about RSVPs for the other runs, but please RSVP for this run if you plan to stay for the pizza party, so we can get an accurate headcount.

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 Sheepfold Parking Lot at 6:15pm, and plan to start running 6:20pm. We'll finish our run around 7:20pm and then eat pizza (provided by MITOC, we'll bring it to Sheepfold, and we'll all eat outside).

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.

Transportation:

  • Participants will self-organize car rides among trip members. If you have a car and are willing to drive people, please mention it in the notes (and rough pickup location).
  • There is public transportation that takes you near the fells.
  • You could also bike and/or run!

Gear:

  • Cell phone (highly recommended); we try our best to stick together when running, but this is just in case you get lost
