MA’s Blue Hills Trail Races coming up on April 30

Trail runners can now register for the 12th Annual Blue Hills Trail Races on Sunday, April 30 in the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, Massachusetts.

There will be two events: the challenging 10-mile “Fox Trot” and the easier 3-mile “Bunny Hop.”

Early registration is important, as this popular event is limited to a total of just 250 entrants.

Organizers request a minimum $12 donation as a registration fee, and additional donations are appreciated. All race profits are donated to the Blue Hills Trailside Museum to support its nature-education programs for children.

The races are low cost, low frills. Racers don’t receive T-shirts or trophies, but the race has a scenic, hilly well-marked course staffed by many volunteers, with several water stops, computerized timing, and post-race refreshments.
