Tradition will continue as the 14th edition of the Don’t Run Boston 50K will be run  Sunday, April 18th, the day before the Boston Marathon.  The race details are on our Race Calendar page along with helpful maps for previewing the course (since there are no markings).

This year we are adding the running of the first annual TARC 50 Miler the same day.  So you’ll have your choice of ultra distances.   Both will be run in the Blue Hills Reservation.  The 50 Miler will commence at 6:00 am and run the entire DRB50K course first, then the added 19 miles to complete the circuit.  The DRB50K will begin at 8:00 am.  You can start running the 50 Miler and switch to just the 50K if it’s not your day.  The TARC 50 is designed to compliment the DRB50K style course -  lots of hills, 75% single track trails, 10% fire roads and 15% deer paths, plenty of soaring vista views of the Boston landscape and a few opportunities to get off course.  It holds true to Trail Animal tradition.  Both DRB50K and TARC50 are beautiful courses.

So mark your calendars and get out there this winter with the usual Sunday morning crew at Blue Hills to preview parts of the course.
