Where: Pingree Reservation at the Pingree School, Hamilton, MA
Cost: $20 per runner

The first Essex County Greenbelt “Run for the Trails!” race (5K OR 10K) will occur on Saturday, July 19, 9 a.m., at Pingree Reservation in Hamilton. There is a 9:00 a.m. start.

The course begins in a field at the Pingree School, and immediately enters the forest. The entire course will be run along the trails that wind through the Pingree Reservation.

The trails are both single and double track. Footing is relatively even, but there are a few tricky spots. The course is rolling, with a handful of short uphill and downhill sections. The 5k runners will run one loop, and the 10k runners two loops.

The course will be marked with flags, and volunteers will stand at

locations where runners might be confused. There will be one water station set up at the start/finish area (which will be at 3.1 miles for the 10k runners).

The cost to participate in the race is $20 per runner. Proceeds from the event will benefit Essex County Greenbelt.
