TARC Summer Classic

The TARC Summer Classic takes place every August at Noon Hill Reservation in Medfield, Massachusetts, and takes runners on an adventurous 10 mile circuit consisting of mostly single track trail with varied terrain. With a dirt road into the starting area, one road crossing, and very few house sightings during the run, you will truly feel like you're running in the wilderness, not in a suburb about 15 miles from Boston!

The Trail Animals Running Club aims to act as community stewards by providing equitable access to trail running and promoting positive trail running culture, and all event profits are donated back to conservation and community based nonprofits. Join TARC's free group runs and low cost races from 5K to 100+ miles, and come get your feet dirty!
