April Fools 4 Mile Road Race
WCRC 36th Annual April Fools 4 Mile Road Race
Saturday, April 1, 2017
Race number four in the MRC Racing Series is a four mile race, no foolin!
We usually have a pretty good sized group of MRC runners turn out each year for this race. I’ve run The Four five times.
Often there are snow banks and one year it snowed during the race.
This is an out and back USATF certified course. It is also essentially flat.
I like running back after the turn around. When you are running down Vic Lin Drive you can see everyone in front of you and everyone behind you. It’s fun to give a wave of encouragement when you see someone you know.
Getting a wave or a shout out is fun also.
It can get a little crowded at the turn, but for most of the race you will have plenty of room.
This year Ipswich Brewery is the beverage sponsor. I’m pretty sure Smuttynose has been the sponsor for the past five years. While I’ll miss my Finest Kind IPA, I’m sure Ipswich will be serving up some tasty brews for us.
Like all races, we encourage car pooling and a wicked good time!
You’d be a fool to miss the April Fool’s 4 Miler!
