About

The Spring for the Trails Half Marathon takes place in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in early May, in Willowdale State Forest. The 13.1-mile course stays on trails from start to finish, mixing single-track and double-track paths, and it is part of the North Shore Trail Series. The start is at 8:00 a.m.

After a New England winter, trails can still be soft, muddy or littered with roots in early May, so shoes with real tread and a flexible pace plan make sense. Running a trail half usually takes longer than the same distance on pavement, and aid and fueling are worth planning in advance.
