The Fat Ass Fifty returns to Bradley Palmer State Park, featuring a scenic 6.2-mile loop that participants can complete between one and five times. The race starts at the park's eastern end, accessible via Highland Avenue across from Pingree School. This event embraces a community spirit, encouraging runners to contribute food or drinks for the aid table, and fostering camaraderie among participants. With its non-competitive nature, the Fat Ass Fifty offers a relaxed atmosphere, but the distance and looping format present a demanding challenge for seasoned runners. The park’s beautiful trails provide an ideal backdrop for this endurance test, making it a unique experience in the running calendar.
