🍂 Join us for some post-peak-foliage miles at Middlesex Fells and then stick around for some post-run seasonal treats!

🏃‍♀️We'll run about 4-6 miles, likely in a ~4 mi group and a ~6 mi group. Both will be no-drop runs, but we plan to run at a pace similar to 9-10 min/mi on the roads (likely 11-12 min/mi on the trails). We'll meet at the Medford High lot/Mustang Loop trailhead ready-to-run at 1:30pm.

🥧 After the run, we'll hang out for some post-run cider/pies/seasonal treats, courtesy of MITOC!

Transportation

We’ll try to facilitate transportation to/from the Fells – most likely, enough people will have cars to get everybody to/from the Fells. There is also Uber/Lyft, public transportation, and you could also bike and/or run. Please include your info on the Rideshare Sheet.

Prerequisites

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

• Be comfortable running 4+ miles on flat road at a 9-10 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.

Prior trail running experience is not required.

If the trip shows as full, please add yourself to the waitlist, as we may be able to adjust the trip size!

If you're a leader and interested in joining as a leader, please sign up as a participant but email/Slack us!
