Tarc to Hale and Back

The TARC To Hale and Back is an exciting trail running event organized by the Trail Animals Running Club, taking place at Hale Reservation in Westwood, Massachusetts. Participants can choose between a 6-hour endurance challenge or a 3.5-mile race, both designed to welcome runners out of winter hibernation. The course features technical singletrack trails with scenic views of ponds and varied terrain.

The event emphasizes sustainability by not providing cups, encouraging runners to bring their own hydration solutions. Registration opens in late 2024, and the race is known for selling out quickly, with profits supporting land conservation efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
