About the PBA 5K, 8K and 10K Race & 2 Town Walk/Run
The races start and finish at Weidele's Restaurant, with the main routes running between Sterling and Moosup along the Moosup Valley State Park Trail. The trail is the real draw here, a point-to-point path through the woods rather than a looped road course. There are several distance options, including a back-to-back combination for those who want more miles.
Bib pickup is at Weidele's in the hour or so before the start. Weidele's serves coffee, bagels, and breakfast items before the race, then shifts to pizza, grinders, and salads around midday. The first beer is on the house. Timing is handled by hand, with results posted online shortly after.
