Start times:
8:30am: Check-in and bib pick-up opens
10:00am: 4M and 8M races start
Race cut-off time: Out of respect for volunteers' time, our cutoff for the 8-mile course is 2 hours (15 minute/mile pace). Beyone this time, we do not have a guarantee of support, recording a finishing time, food, etc. Please plan accordingly.
Walkers are welcome at all of our events; HOWEVER, in consideration of our volunteers' time, we respectfully ask walkers to choose the shorter 4M course.
Location:
- Parking: DEM picnic area parking lot (GPS: 23 Sanctuary Road, Charlestown, RI)
- Registration location: inside cabin
Course Description: The terrain of the course is primarily dirt trails, with some dirt and asphalt roads. In order to minimize bunching up at the trail entrance, the race will first run just under under one mile on Sanctuary Road, a quiet dead-end dirt road with very little traffic. At that point, the 8-mile course will branch to the right and follow single-track trails counter clockwise around Watchaug Pond, finishing back at the picnic area parking lot. The 4-mile course will continue straight on Sanctuary Road, before branching off to trails in the DEM-owned Kimball Preserve, making a loop through Burlingame State Park campground, and returning to same start/finish via Sanctuary Road.
Requirement:
Each participant and volunteer must wear at least 200 square inches of orange. Anyone not wearing orange will not be allowed to race per State of RI DEM mandate.
