TARC Winter Classic
The TARC Winter Classic is a trail running event held annually at Middlesex Fells Reservation in Stoneham, Massachusetts. It offers challenging distances of 8, 32, and 40 miles on the technical Skyline Trail, featuring roots, rocks, and elevation changes typical of New England terrain. Runners experience scenic woodland paths with occasional views of the Boston skyline.
The course is marked with white blazes, and participants must navigate carefully, as no additional markings are provided. Aid stations provide hydration and snacks, but runners must bring their own cups or bottles. The event emphasizes environmental respect with a Leave No Trace policy and supports inclusivity, adaptive athletes, and youth participation.
