Special thanks to the Chesterfield General Store & Cafe, who makes cookie medals and provides hot coffee for our runners and volunteers!

Runners and walkers use a well-marked course with a beautiful view of the Westfield River. Hot beverages round off this event, which awards handmade hats to the winners (and maybe even some bonus categories this year!), and a locally baked cookie medal to all race participants.

Trail Description

A well-marked course, the dirt road/trail is a slightly hilly and rocky out and and back along the Wild and Scenic Westfield River, starting at the Chesterfield Gorge. Hot chocolate, coffee, and tea ready and waiting at the finish line.
