Mainly marathons is a well-organized company that puts on series of runs of various lengths. This one was on a wide, smooth trail of crushed gravel. It was near Ashley Reservoir in Holyoke, MA. The course started out going through some picturesque woods, and then by several ponds of Ashley Reservoir. There was a lot of wildlife seen on the course including white-tailed deer, beaver, and Eastern chipmunks. The course was a 1.1 mile out and back that was repeated 14.5 times for the 50K and 12 times for the marathon distance. The wide trails of Ashley Reservoir made for an excellent venue for this rapidly expanding series, as there was plenty of room for passing on the trails.
