The Trail Animals Running Club played host to the seventh running of the TARCkey Trot 6-Hour Ultra on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023, at Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester, Mass. Runners ran on the farm trails and the winding, technical singletrack of neighboring Whipple Hill on a 3.5-mile loop. The following are a small sample of the photos taken by MassUltra Editor Chris Wristen during the event. A full gallery of 119 photos can be viewed on the MassUltra Facebook page.
