Join us for an exhilarating day at the Houghton's Pond Trail Races on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in the picturesque Milton, Norfolk. Nestled within the scenic DCR Blue Hills Reservation, just south of Boston, this event features two exciting race distances: 7 miles and 3.7 miles. Both courses wind through rolling terrains on dirt roads and forest paths, providing a perfect blend of nature and adventure. While the routes avoid steep hiking trails, participants can expect a true trail running experience with small rocks and tree roots adding to the challenge. The 7-mile race includes a total elevation change of about 700 feet, while the 3.7-mile option features 300 feet of elevation change, making for a rewarding challenge for runners of all levels. Starting and finishing at the Houghton's Pond Visitor Center, you'll be treated to stunning views of the pond and a vibrant atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of the outdoors. Plus, a portion of the proceeds will support Friends of the Blue Hills, ensuring the trails remain well-maintained for everyone to enjoy. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to run, explore, and contribute to the preservation of our natural landscapes!
