The 25th running of the G.A.C. Fat Ass 50K took place on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025, at Bradley Palmer State Park in Topsfield, Mass. The New England classic was organized by Gil’s Athletic Club and played host to around 200 runners. Runners took on a 10K loop course through the park as many times as they wanted, up to five loops for a 50K finish. Some completed four loops and an additional out-and-back for a marathon.
