The Fourth Annual Station Loop Ramble went off without a hitch today under beautiful fall sunshine and mid-60s temperatures. Runners of all ages participated in one of three races, either the Kid’s One Mile, 5 Mile Classic and 5K Run/Walk. Each race used part of the Mass Central Rail Trail as it passes through the Ware River valley in Hardwick and New Braintree.

Thank you to all who ran and those that volunteered at the race!

Thank you to our race sponsors for supporting the East Quabbin Land Trust and the Mass Central Rail Trail with their financial contributions.
