ECTA is holding its 8th Annual Thanks for the Trails 5k and Kids Fun Run the Saturday after Thanksgiving at Patton Park in Hamilton (November 29, 2025). The Kids' Run will begin at 9:30AM and the 5k will start at 10AM. Using a scenic and challenging course and offering great prizes, this will be an event for all! Super prizes for top finishers, and many other terrific prizes.
A Boston Marathon Entry will be given to a lucky bib number holder, so be sure to enter during online registration! Free swag (not finalized yet, but in past years we have given out long sleeved shirts or hats) will be given to registrants as long as supplies last, so be sure to register early. We are building on the fine tradition enjoyed by so many for many years with Gabe's Run, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Gabriel Pacione Memorial Scholarship. Whether you seek a personal record or camaraderie with old friends and rivals, this event is for you!
