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.
