Participants can start anywhere along the Rec Path but participants need a bib to take part in the activities.  Bib pick up is from 9:30-noon only, either at the Nordic Barn or at the Farmers' Market field (intersection of Mountain Road and Cape Cod Road).

Registration is open from 9:30am to 12noon only.  We would like to stress that there is a time constraint, mainly to reach the Village by 2pm to be a part in the finish celebrations and raffles.  If you choose to start at the top of the Rec Path, please be time-sensitive as the stations will only be manned until 1:30 pm.
