Event Description:

For the fourth year in a row, we conclude the New England Trail Run Series with the Lost Valley 5k Relay and accompanying Baxter Brewing Co. Backyard Festival.

In this race, competitors will be able to choose between a solo event or a team event. Solo racers may choose from 5k, 10k, or 15k course. Teams may enter as a 3-person 15k team only.

The course itself will be comprised of a single 5k loop on the nordic trails of Lost Valley. Solo 10k and 15k racers will complete multiple loops of the course. Teams will do the same in a relay format with each team member completing one 5k loop.

Stick around after the race for live music from the Brad Hutchinson Project, cornhole, disc golf, food, and unlimited 4oz pours of Baxter Beer and Ricker Hill Hard Cider. Come celebrate the end of the season with Baxter Brewing Co. and our partners!

How difficult is this event?

While racers of all ability levels are encouraged to participate, this race will favor intermediate and expert runners.

Racers looking to walk will enjoy beautiful scenery and easy hiking terrain.
