Walden Pond Trail Run this Sunday August 29th

The forecast is for 90 degress this Sunday so join us for a trail run at Walden Pond / Lincoln Woods in Concord this Sunday at 8:30 AM. Come out for a nice trail run and a refreshing post run cool down swim in the pond. The plan is to run for an hour then take a refreshing dip in the pond.

We will meet adjacent to the bathrooms in the main parking lot.  The parking fee is $5 a day or $35 for the season. The ticket machine does not take $20 bills.
 
Information and directions to Walden can be found at

You don’t have to rsvp but you do need to arrive on time.
