Gorge après Gorge
Gorge après Gorge is an annual outdoor event at Chesterfield Gorge Reservation on River Road in Chesterfield, MA. The event includes a 5k trail run and a free family fun walk along the Westfield River. It takes place on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and has been held since 2005.
Features of the event include handmade knit and crocheted hat prizes for top runners and locally baked cookie medals for finishers. After the run and walk, there is a community potluck and complimentary hot beverages; participants are encouraged to bring their own mugs or may purchase a reusable one at the event. All registration fee proceeds benefit Hilltown Land Trust, which became a cosponsor in 2015.
- 5k Trail Run
- Family Fun Walk (free)
The event is family oriented and draws several hundred participants in recent years. Organizers ask that dogs stay at home. The combination of trails along the river, handmade prizes, and a community potluck are consistent elements that characterize this late-November gathering.
