About the race
Located on Mansfield's WWII Veterans Memorial Trail in Massachusetts, the WWII Veterans Memorial Trail Weighted Race is a 2.5-mile out-and-back loop on a rail trail with paved, gravel, and grass sections. In this 6-hour timed event, participants carry weight per lap, with their lap distance multiplied by the weight carried to produce "Kz" (pound-miles). Runners can adjust weight between laps, creating a dynamic balance of strength and speed; the goal is to accumulate the most Kz before the clock runs out, finishing the final lap.
The race honors veterans along the former Old Colony Railroad Line from Camp Myles Standish to Boston; it’s the second annual edition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
