10K replaces 15k this year
This is the first year we have discontinued the 15K course! Yes, it was an awesome and arduous joy to run, but now we offer the 5K course and a repeat option to complete 10K. Thank you for your past support and we want you to come this year to enjoy the challenge that this course offers! You will be supporting Lynn Woods Trail running (every Wed. all summer long) and we will continue to provide a donation/gift to the Friends of Lynn Woods.
About the Stone Tower
Set on the highest point in Lynn, Stone Tower is a 48 ft. tall field stone tower on the top of Burrill Hill. This rustic field stone tower commands an impressive view of Lynn's waterfront, Boston and beyond.
Thanks to generous contributions including from this race, the Stone Tower has been restored and can once again be visited. We will contribute to the upkeep of the Lynn Woods Reservation through the wonderful organization; Friends of Lynn Woods (FLW).
Seasoned trail runners raved @ the challenging 15 k course which tours the heights and under-trails in a moderately grueling fashion! You will need to be fit to take on this tour as you run along the fire roads and single path trails. You will be ascending rocky and hilly terrain past reservoirs, rose gardens, and scenic vistas. This 9.3 run is not to be taken lightly!
The 5k is comparatively less difficult but does ascend to Burrill Hill and the Stone Tower in the last mile. It is good hard clean fun!
Walkers can visit the Stone Tower up the main fire road which is roughly a 1.5 mile roundtrip.
Thank you to everyone contributing their time and resources to this effort! Special thanks to Joe Abelon, Bill Mullen, Dave Jefska, and Aaron Toleos.Contact
