Course Maps

Both races begin and end from Kelleher Field. A very short trip to the start of the Assabet River Rail Trail where runners and walkers will commence an out & back course. All crossings will be managed by police and volunteers. At least one water station will be available on course (that runners will pass twice). Enjoy that character building uphill on the way back!
