Roxbury 50k Marathon & Half Marathon

The out-and-back course that participants run includes hilly as well as flat stretches, some of which take runners along tree-lined residential streets while others take the field through the rolling farm country just outside town. Though it’s a little difficult at first to see using the course map, the race route features two out-and-back stretches. Both start and finish on Apple Lane; the first is a roughly eight-mile out-and-back that takes runners northward along South Street, North Street and Judds Bridge Road all the way to the bridge that gives the road its name, where runners then turn around and head back along the same course in reverse. The second out-and-back takes runners up South and North Streets again, but then turns left onto Baker Road and then south onto Hemlock Road, before turning around on Rocky Mountain Road and running the course back toward the starting line. The starting time for the race is scheduled for 8:30 AM, and runners will need to bring cash for the entry fee into Everett Hurlburt Community Park for the start.
