THE THOMAS CHAMBERAS 6K XC RACE
August 24
The Thomas Chamberas 6K XC Race on August 24 in Carlisle, Mass. is a
great way to kick off your fall racing season! Quickly becoming a New
England Classic, the Chamberas race offers something for everyone.

The course: The course through Great Brook Farm State Park is a 6K
with a great mixture of grass, dirt trails, some roots and rocks and
one steep hill. It's not a fast course for a PR, but it's a runner's
course, designed by experienced XC runners and for XC runners. There's
a course map available on the web site for more detail.

The competition: In years past, we've gotten under 100 runners ranging
from Olympic trials qualifiers and World Mountain Running Team members
all the way back to walkers and first-time XC racers. Brought to you
by trail running club New England Track & Trail, you can be sure to
see some top runners at the front of this race, but as it's a
fundraiser, we certainly encourage all ability levels to come out.
Past results are available on the web site. The race is sanctioned by
USATF and is part of the USATF-New England Cross Country Grand Prix
and the Eastern New England Trail Racing Series.

The prizes: We have a variety of sponsors onboard to donate
merchandize and gift certificates including Darn Tough socks, running
shoes from La Sportiva, Etonic, Reebok, Brooks and Asics and many more.

The cause: This race was originally started as a fundraiser for the
Thomas Chamberas Memorial Runner's Scholarship in memory of U Mass
Lowell XC alumni Tom Chamberas. Today, it is also a fundraiser for the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. More information on the history of the
race and the fundraising efforts are available on the web site.

form or register online.
