Pumpkin Smash

The Great Pumpkin Smash MTB Race at Hale Education in Westwood, MA is on Sun. Oct. 13th. Start location will be at Cat Rock Field using the 80 Carby St. entrance. Designed as an XC Olympic (XCO) format race, the Smash will feature a 4-mile course on some of Hale’s best trails. Because of the growing interest in racing at Hale. We've added additional categories and are planning a new to this series course! The route will be posted shortly.  Team tents will be allowed and an area will be set up for them. This is a no-swag-all-brag, run watcha brung, old skool 3-podium finish race. Proceeds from this race benefit Hale’s youth programs. The course will open for registrants to pre-ride before the first heat rolls out and during the race. We ask that when pre riding on the race course that folks yield to active racers and get out of the way. Participants will have until 30 min before their race to check in, warm up, and explore the route. Please pick up your timing plates at registration. Race plates will have timing chips on them. We ask that you not be in or around the timing area or race start/finish mat unless you are actively racing. Hale believes nature, education, and recreation inspire us to learn, empower us to lead, and challenge us all to create a world in which people, place, and purpose are united.
