first trail race of the season
Filed under Uncategorized by andrew wolfe at 8:51 am
So far as I can tell, the first trail race anywhere in New England this spring will take place on Saturday, March 24. The good news is it's right here in Nashua. The bad news (for me) is that it's a wee little 5K.
UPDATE 3/20 - worse news… it's cancelled!
Anyhow, it's one of the Luv2Run races by 3C Race Productions, and it will take place in Mine Falls Park, so it'll be a fast course. It would probably make a nice intro to trail racing, if you've never ventured off road. Personally, I'll wait and see… I find 5Ks a bit fast for my taste. Maybe because of my asthma, I like to run at a more moderate pace, for longer time and distance.
The first race that I plan to run Northern Nipmuck, a 16-mile out-and-back on the Nipmuck trail in Connecticut on April 7. It's the first race in the Grand Tree series, and I'm still trying to figure out whether it covers any of the same ground as the Nipmuck marathon. If anyone knows of any earlier races, please let me know.
UPDATE 3-19
Heck yes, I'm doing it… the course should be an absolute mess, perhaps downright treacherous. How can I resist?
