Description

The Powisset (pronounced “po-wiss-it”) Farm Trail Run is part of the Barn to Run Trail Race Series and the fall edition of this event takes place Sunday, October 23, 2022 at Powisset Farm in Dover, MA.  The event includes running the trails of Powisset Farm and neighboring Noanet Woodlands and offers 3 race distances to choose from — 8.3, 5.6 and 3.1 miles.  A popular event with experienced and novice trail runners alike, the Powisset Farm Trail Run was named one of the Ten Best Trail Races for the Fall by RootsRated.

Come for the race... stay for the cider donuts! Post-race cider donuts are a staple of the fall races in the Barn to Run series. Bring the kids to see the animals, free pumpkin painting and to see all the farm has to offer!

SWAG and Cider Donuts

All runners that register by Sunday, 10/8/23, have the option to choose EITHER a Barn to Run cuffed knit beanie OR a soft cotton, gender specific t-shirt. Register after that date and you will receive other Barn to Run swag (TBD). Regardless of when you register, all runners also receive post-race food (cider donuts!), drinks and a chance to win sponsor giveaways and Barn to Run merchandise. NOTE: If there are any t-shirts left over after the race, runners that receive a alternative swag may exchange their swag for a t-shirt.
