BOSTON BLOWOUT
If you're prepping for Boston (or any other spring
marathon)
and want to do a long run with some company and comfort, this
is it.
We've found some of the flattest, most scenic roads around lower
Fairfield
and mapped out a cloverleaf course
that's about as easy as 30 km can be.
Records: Bryce Lindamood 1:43:48, Dana Parrot 1:59:05.
Masters: Joe Puopolo 1:49:11, Mary Chute 2:02:08
NOTE: The finish line will remain open until 3:06:24 (10 min.
pace).
Those planning to run slower please start early - course maps
available.
Starts and finishes at the Scandinavian Club on South Pine Creek
Road (past the par 3 golf course).
I-95 to exit 21, south to Rt. 1, right to South Pine Creek Rd.
(Sunoco and Mobil stations), left for one mile
Please park in the gravel lot at the corner
of Old Dam Rd. and walk to the club.
Check-in starting 6:30 a.m. $15 post entry if 150 runner limit
hasn't been reached.
NO HEADHONES: USATF rules (Click here and read rule #144.3b) prohibit the use of headphones and similar devices on the racecourse.
This rule will be enforced during the Boston Blowout. Runners should not bring these devices with them to the race.
Those carrying/wearing these devices will be given the option to surrender their music device to a designated race official prior to the start.
Surrendered devices may be claimed after the race. Participants that choose not to surrender their device will be disqualified from the race and their finishing times will not appear in the official race results, nor will they be eligible for any awards.
Please bring exact change or check
payable to "Blowout".
We'll have water, energy gels, electrolyte drinks & energy
bars, and food afterward.
Mile & 5 km splits marked. Times for all, some out of the
ordinary awards & stuff.
Just kick in $14 to defray the costs, fill out the form and send
