Join us for a run of the Reservoir Trail at Middlesex Fells, a classic local trail run. It's about 6 miles and 700 ft of elevation gain. We'll be running at ~10:00-11:00/mi pace (note that running on trails usually feels ~2min/mi faster than on roads).

We'll be meeting at this parking lot at 5:30PM, and will start running by 5:35PM.

Prerequisites

This trip is fine as an introductory trail run, but you should be in good physical shape and have some hiking experience. As a rough guideline, you should:

• Be comfortable running 6 miles on flat road at a 9:00 min/mi pace (e.g., have done such a run in the last 3 months)
• Have done a hike with at least 1,000 ft of elevation gain in the last 6 months
• If you don't satisfy the prereqs, you're welcome to sign up anyways, but please email the leaders describing your recent running experience and fitness routine, so we can make sure this is the right trip for you. (Note: we'll be running a variety of trips over the coming months, with varying distances.)

Prior trail running experience is not required.

Cars

You are expected to find your own transportation. If you can give a ride, or need a ride, please note in the signups (thanks)!
