The first weekend of spring saw a welcome return to our regular course after a couple of months utilizing our alternate course to avoid snow and ice. The 28 participants and 10 volunteers at event # 153 were met with soft conditions under foot and cloudy skies.
Thank you to our awesome volunteers for once again donating their time and effort to ensure the success of our event. We appreciate you!!!!
Congratulations to Deane for reaching the 50 volunteer milestone today! Thank you for all of your help over the past couple of years!!!
Congratulations to Michael, Matt, Andrew, April and Laurie for achieving new personal best times today! Keep up the great work!
Welcome to first time parkrunner Sammi! We hope you had a great experience and will join us again as soon as you are able to.
We are already looking forward to next week's event. We'll be back on the trail next Saturday - where will you be?

If anyone happens to be on the trail today please let us know how the back portion of our course is looking. We are crossing our fingers and hoping for a return to our regular course tomorrow!

Overnight precipitation left a blanket of a couple of inches of snow for 13 participants and 10 volunteers at event #152 on The Eastern Trail. Thank you to all in attendance for another great morning.
Thank you as always to our volunteers - without you we simply cannot operate and everything you do to help is appreciated!
Extra special thanks to Bill and Ian for shoveling the start/finish area!
Have a great week, hopefully the snow on the trail will continue to melt. If so,nee may have a chance of returning to our regular course in the next week or two!

This week's warmer temperatures and precipitation have been lovely however they have not done enough to clear the back half of our course completely of snow and ice. With a chance of more precipitation overnight please be prepared for a muddy expedition on our alternate course in the morning.

Could this weekend see us return to our regular course? Possibly! Do we need volunteers to help ensure another safe event? Yes! If you can help as a course checker, finish token distributor, tail walker or photographer please comment below.

Damp conditions and an unplowed trail did not dampen the spirits of 21 participants and 10 volunteers present for event #151 on The Eastern Trail . While the snow on the trail made for slow going Mile managed to record a new personal best - congratulations!!!!
A big welcome to first time parkrunner Lilly! We hope you had a great experience and will join us again as soon as you are able to.
We were also visited this morning by a boomerang named Bi11. Bi11 started his journey in Australia and has made its way around the world from one parkrun to another. Bi11 will spend the next week enjoying Maine with Barbara before heading to a different parkrun next Saturday. Which parkrun will it be? A decision hasn't been made yet and may depend on the weather!
Thank you as always to our incredible volunteers! Your efforts are truly appreciated and we are grateful to have you with us.
We are looking forward to some warmer temperatures this week and are excited to see conditions on the trail change. Join us next Saturday for event #152!!!

Wondering what to expect this morning? Here's what Deane has found!
The course is crunchy but fine. Underneath the overpass is slippery like last week but the ice is snow covered so folks should be careful. Spikes recommended but not necessary.
See you soon!

Our course Marshal position has just opened up for tomorrow's event. Please reach out and let us know if you can help to fill this role!
On the bright side, it looks like we'll be met with cloudy conditions rather than rain! Conditions could be a little slushy after this morning's snow and the potential for rain overnight. Please dress appropriately.
