Sunday Fells Run! 5-6 miles with option for more

5-6 mile run through the trails of the Fells, more if there's interest.

***The run takes place even if only the host is confirmed, since there are usually other non-registered runners showing up. If the run is canceled, it will be canceled on the meet-up site first.***

This run is intended for anyone new to trail running as well as more experienced runners. We regroup periodically to allow our slower runners to catch up.

** You must be able to run at least a 10 min mile on ROADS and be able to continuously run between regroupings to ensure that you can safely keep up with the group. We cannot include participants who run/walk or hike at this event. **

We meet at 9 am and leave at 9:10 am sharp.

Please fill out the Davis Square Runners Participant Waiver prior to attending:

https://forms.gle/buxjNGKY9hhKNL466

The waiver only needs to be filled out once but is required even if you have previously attended DSR events.

In case of emergency during the event, you can call or text the DSR Emergency number, 339-707-7615.

If there are newer trail runners in the group, we will do an easy 5 mile loop and regroup frequently. HOWEVER, keep the pace and running ability requirements listed above in mind prior to attending.

For those wanting more miles and difficulty after the initial loop, we will continue on to more technical trails with frequent regroups.

We start at Gate #6, which is at the end of Governor's Road in Medford (Middle Road into the Fells). Parking can be found nearby at parking lots along South Border Road, or on some of the side streets.

We always try to have an experienced trail person in the front and the back so as to keep our group together.

To have a safe and fun run, we suggest you bring:

1. Water. Trail running can take more out of you than a road run. Having more water than less is a good idea.
2. Snacks. Granola, nuts, gels/chews, etc, are good to have to snack on during the run.
3. A phone or map. Useful if you get separated or lost (even though we try to stick together, getting off track can happen).
4. Bug repellant for ticks and mosquitoes. It is summer and Middlesex Country is known to be affected by Lyme disease and West Nile virus.
5. Sorry, no dogs allowed. We run narrow trails and there are usually many unleashed dogs in the Fells on a Sunday morning already.

Please keep your RSVP's up-to-date. If you have RSVP'd and decide not to come, change your status for the event so that we know not to wait for you and potentially to give someone on the waitlist the opportunity to run with us.

Hope to see you!
