A 30 mile run to Celebrate my Birthday

When : Sunday November 29th
Where: My House- 293 Bog Road Hillsboro NH
What: A 30 mile run to Celebrate my Birthday(Nov. 27)
Start: 8am or 9…
How: 5 laps of about 6 miles on the around roads and trails that I have run on since moving to Hillsboro in 2001. All the laps will start and finish at my house, that of course will serve as an aid station. I’m not a fast runner and I’m just looking to finish not smash records. This will be trip down memory lane for me. And a mental struggle to keep going for 30 miles. I have done 30 mile races before but not ones that pass my house every few miles with a nice comfy coach starting at me from inside! I’m looking forward to the challenge and the Finish. I welcome anyone that wants to come out and join in for a few miles to share the journey and challenges of life.

Lap 1: Old school 6.04 miles
These laps follow the first long run I found and did when I moved to the neighborhood. It follows the paved roads around the edge of the Village passing farms, buffalo, ponds, fields and forests. The dirt roads cut threw the village giving a look at the mix of old camp houses and newer buildings that inhabit the Village. The run also leads to a few views of Gould pond.

Lap 2: Colby Hill over the top threw Fox 5.5miles
This lap will be a good amount of up hill walking. The run winds up Colby Hill road and then on North Road passing mostly large rural farm houses and conservation land. The road will pass threw historic Hillsborough Center. Then a long paved down hill run will bring the run to Fox Forest. The old roads threw the Forest will lead past old cemeteries and long abandoned farm house cellar holes. The trails will come out of the woods just a quarter mile from the finish on lap 2.

Lap 3: Farrah Marsh House Rock 6.5
This out and back follows Bog Road north past many brooks and marshes. Starting with a long climb that levels out for a long stretch along Farrah Marsh. The run will turn around at House Rock. The rock is a large erratic boulder, the size of a cottage, that sits on a slight knoll. There are tales of people having lived under the overhang.
