Pineland Farms Trail Running Festival - 50 Miles - New Gloucester, ME - May 28, 2011 - A description of the course -  "The race course is three laps of a  25 kilometer off-road roller coaster on well-maintained XC trails that twist, turn, and roll their way through forests and across pastoral, working farmland. The trails are level, wide (12'), and non-technical with no roots or rocks, but very hilly. Although there are no major climbs the rolling terrain is unrelenting."   

From John Brown: The description doesn't do it justice. The pastoral, working farmland were fields that had paths recently cut through them;the "grass" was still about a foot high, with all the cut grass still on top, and the paths had tire ruts and sections of water/mud throughout. Our 15k course is flat compared to this. It was definitely a challenge. My legs are completely shot and I'm still walking gingerly after 3 days.

Shining Star Preschool 5K - Milford, MA - May 22, 2011 -  From Bill Lyon:  This was a first time race and awards were limited to the m/f overall winners. Nice snacks after the race including a surprisingly tasty "kale" shake from whole foods market. Race had significant hills for the first two thirds of the course followed by a nice gradual incline to the finish.

Evan's Run 10K - May 22, 2011 -  This is the third race in the New England Pub Series.  Temps 
were trying to break 50 so a bit cool.   With Mary Tyler sitting on the sidelines while recovering from knee surgery, it was Ted who is in running for that "Pub Jacket".  Course was hilly but except for one hill at the end, the last mile or two was downhill.  Nice cookout at the end.

Eident Sports Half Marathon - May 1, 2011 -  From Les: I was able to take first place in the 50 to 59 division for the Cox (Eident Sports) Half Marathon.  This is the furthest that I have run in over 20 years.  Felt good to go this distance although I did fall apart a little over the final 2 miles.  Looking forward to more of the longer races.   The race went off at 8:00 am.  Temperatures remained low for the race.  Great day for a race.

Walter Childs Race of Champions Marathon - Holyoke, MA - May 1, 2011 -  From John Brown: This is a small marathon run on a challenging course. The race starts at the old Mount Tom ski lodge. The course is mostly downhill for a little over a mile into the reservoir, where you complete several loops on a mostly flat dirt/crushed stone road. Leaving the reservoir after mile 9 the course is uphill for a mile before finally arriving back on the roads. The next 12 miles consist of rolling hills with some flat stretches on back country roads. Around mile 22 you pop out onto a main road, which is flat for a while, followed by 2 miles of gradual climb, and finally a right hand turn and a steep 1/2 uphill climb on the Mount Tom access road. The post race refreshments were excellent. A sample of what could be had included: pasta, potato salad, lunch meat and cheese, rolls, meatballs, soda, and water.
