Kids Trail Race 2011!

admin — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 01:16:50 +0000

Despite an ice storm that knocked out power to most of Massachusetts and 100% of Harvard, the kids trail race went on with some big efforts from Marisa and Bob Steele clearing the course. Thanks to both of them as well as all of the volunteers and the Bolton Conservation Commission for allowing us to host the event at beautiful Bowers Springs .

We held two races today, one for the kids 8 and under and one for kids 9 – 12. It appears that all had fun. The results and pictures have been posted.

We hope that everyone enjoyed our races this year and comes back next year. Enjoy the Fall and Winter!
