tl;dr: run 4–6 miles and then hang out and eat some pizza at Middlesex Fells

Join us for an evening run of your choice of:

• 4 mi option: this loop
• 6 mi option: Reservoir Trail

This will be a no-drop run: we will run at a pace that's comfortable for everybody on the trip.

We'll leave MIT at 5:00pm, meet at the Sheepfold parking lot, and start running around 5:30pm. Once we're back at Sheepfold, we'll eat some pizza!

Fees: there are no fees associated with this trip — pizza is on MITOC! Sign-ups are required so we know how much food to get.

Transportation: please update your car status to help us figure out transportation. We're hoping that enough people have cars to get everybody to/from the Fells. There is also Uber/Lyft, public transportation, and you could also bike and/or run.

Gear: if you are not familiar with navigating in the Fells, we require that you bring a cell phone. This is a no-drop run and we will stick together, but it's good to have a cell phone for additional safety.

Prerequisites: This trip is fine as an introductory trail run, but you should be in decent physical shape and have non-zero hiking experience. As a rough guideline, you should: be comfortable running 4 miles on flat road at a 10:00 min/mi pace (e.g., have done such a run in the last 6 months), and have done a hike before. Prior trail running experience is not required.
