Nestled in the scenic Blue Hills Reservation outside of Boston, this 7-mile jaunt is worth the views. The start of this race is a pure gun start and there was no chip time, so if you care about your results, GET UP TO THE FRONT OF THE PACK FOR THE START. If you decide to hang back, you may need to fight your way up through the pack on some tough terrain. The terrain itself is pretty concentrated with roots and rocks, which provide a welcomed challenge. Approximately 4 hills provide 700 feet of elevation gain for the race. If you're new to trails like me, this is a TREAT. Enjoy it. Have no fear, the finish of the race spits you out on to dirt so you can pick your pace up for the finish!

This local gem is a solid trail race organized by a dedicated local running team. Give it a shot for sure
