Preview Run for Dogtown Trail Race

Join Cape Ann Trail Stewards and Wicked Running Club for a guided preview run of our Dogtown Trail Race course!

All are welcome to join!  (Note that you do not need to be already registered for the race to sign up for the preview run). 

We will have leaders for a variety of different pace groups that people can join based on their estimated "easy effort" training pace (you can select your estimated pace range on our registration form).  

We will have complimentary water and snacks at the start/ finish area for attendees.  Please register in advance so that we know how many will be attending, and what pace groups will be needed.

(And also, if you have not already registered for our June 7th Dogtown Trail Race, you can get to the race registration page HERE to sign up).

Meeting Spot:  We will meet at Haskins Park at the  top of Summit Ave. in Rockport.  Drive to the very top of the hill at the end of Summit Ave,, and bear right between the two large stone pillars (after the pillars, continue right at the fork to park in Haskins Park).   See Google Map location HERE.

NOTE that this is a different parking location from our normal race-day parking (Haskins Park is slightly closer to the water tower than the race-day parking at Evans Field).  The race start location (at the water tower) is 0.2 mi down the trail from the trailhead at Haskins Park.

Plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early to check in.  We will plan to leave on the run promptly at 9am.
