FAQs
The course is mostly asphalt. There is a small dirt area between the back of the Williamstown High School parking lot where the course transitions to the bike path. This area can have standing water if it rains before the race, but there is typically an area to get around any water. One other non-asphalt area is the driveway to the Williamstown Dog Park. This is hard packed gravel used for cars going to the dog park.
Strollers are welcome but they should be able to handle the terrain described above.
Friendly, non-aggressive dogs on a leash are welcome to join in the fun. We do ask that if you are running with your dog that you start toward the back of the runners. Your start time will be recorded when you cross the start line so you will not be penalized for starting at the back.
The elevation gain for the course is 33 feet.
