Organiser's Description
THE KING OF PAIN 10-MILER
Presented by The Glastonbury River Runners Club
In 2004, a legend was born. The King of Pain is the toughest road race in the history of Glastonbury and, as anyone who has run it knows, it lives up to its name. The course offers breathtaking South Glastonbury orchard scenery, along with hill, after hill, after hill. As a bonus, we scheduled the race smack-dab in the middle of a frigid New England winter. No extra charge. And youll be pretty sore after you finish, but youll walk away with bragging rights that will last all year long.
