Vineyard Hill Trail Run 5K/10K

On Saturday, August 22, Essex County Greenbelt will host its annual Vineyard Hill Trail Run 5K/10K in Hamilton. Proceeds from this event support Greenbelt’s land conservation and stewardship efforts across Essex County.

In addition to helping advance Greenbelt’s mission, participants in this run will enjoy a scenic course that winds through some of the region’s most picturesque conservation land. Runners of all levels are invited to traverse varied terrain, including the slopes of Vineyard Hill, sections of Bradley Palmer State Park, the Bay Circuit Trail, and Greenbelt’s Shaw Field.

This race is part of the North Shore Trail Series, which features eight premier trail races across the region, and is sponsored by New England Running Co. It’s also Trail Sisters-approved, reflecting Greenbelt’s support for an inclusive trail running community.

Both 5K and 10K race options are available. Prizes will be awarded to top finishers overall and within age categories.
