Numerous new ultramarathons have popped up in Massachusetts this year – and now another can be added to the list.
The Village Ultra, a 10-hour timed event, will take place at 7 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 19, at New Salem Town Common in New Salem, Mass. Additionally, a 6-hour offering will start at 11 a.m.
Runners will have the option of running a 10K trail loop, a quarter-mile paved loop, or a mixture of both surfaces.
The event was organized to raise awareness of Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS). Proceeds will go to a local family to help secure treatment for their child who has PANS.
Registration for the Village Ultra can be done online here.
The Village Ultra offers ultrarunners a second timed running option for the weekend. A day earlier, the Trail Animals Running Club plays host to the second annual TARCkey Trot 6-hour Ultra at Wright Locke Farm and Whipple Hill in Winchester, Mass.
Registration for the TARCkey Trot takes place here.
Come join us for The Village Ultra! It will be lots of fun!
