Join us for an evening run in Middlesex Fells with Northeast Trail Crew, a Boston-area trail running club.

The route details vary week-to-week, but will be about 7 miles and 700 ft of elevation gain at a 10:30 min/mi pace (trail pace; feels very different from running on flat road at a 10:30 min/mi pace).

We'll leave MIT at 6:00pm, meet at the Medford High parking lot at 6:30pm, and join the run with NTC. We'll be back at MIT around 8:30pm.

Prerequisites

You should have some trail running experience and be able to run the distance/pace/elevation of the run. E.g., if you've been coming on the weekly MITOC Reservoir Trail runs, you should be fine on this run; it will likely be a little faster than our weekly runs, but they also take breaks.

If you're unsure about whether you satisfy the prereqs for this trip, please email the trip leaders.

Required gear

• Headlamp (we will be running in the dark, you must have a headlamp)
• Phone (for additional safety, in case anyone gets lost)

Logistics

This trip is basically a car-pool to the Fells. We'll take as many people as we can, given the number of drivers we end up with (+ taking into account people who are willing to do rideshares or rent zipcars).
