Excerpt from an article in Fitness Runner, Fall '99
A
fast, flat 7.9-mile loop around Watchaug Pond. This race has it all - rocks, streams
and mud. You'll have to run through a lot of swamp to get to the end. My suggestion
is to take the mud over the logs, because they are very slippery this time of
year. Don't worry, if you've never run this race before, you'll find out. The
trail is a bit hard to follow and I know people whohave gotten off track. All
and all, however, this is a super fun event! There is one water stop halfway and
a good feed at the finish.
