Please note the Massasoit Trail Races have been moved to the Watuppa Reservation JUST for 2018. We will be hosting a 10K on May 19th and a 30/50K on May 20th in place of the Massasoit races. If you are already registered for the Massasoit 5/10K or Big Bear 30/50K, you are all set for the Watuppa Trail Races. If you haven’t registered yet, the REGISTER and the VOLUNTEER buttons above will direct you to the new registration page. 

 

We apologize for any inconvenience. 

 

The Big Bear 30K and 50K trail races are put on in cooperation with the Friends of Massasoit State Park, as well as the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, and features just a sampling of one of our favorite trail systems!

Join us for the 2nd Annual Big Bear 30K and 50K trail race deep in the woods of DCR Massasoit State Park in East Taunton, MA. We’ve been hosting trail races on parts of this trail system for a few years now and wanted to feature some new sections. The Start/Finish are adjacent to Big Bear Hole Pond and the 10K course loops are a combination of the 5 Pond Trail, the Heart Healthy trail and a few others. You’ll enjoy getting some separation on the wide fire lanes before winding through single tracks along the shores of Lake Rico and hitting the heart pounding hills near Lebaron Hill. Sound good? Now you just need to decide between 3 loops or 5 loops?

*A portion of the registrations will be donated to the DCR Conservation Trust and earmarked for DCR Massasoit State Park projects.
