Papertown Trail Races

Papertown Trail Races returns for a second edition at Chestnut Mountain Nature Park in Canton on November 15. The organizer lists two event categories: 20K and 10K. Online registration reopened and will remain open through Friday, November 13; entrants who were registered for the original October 10 date remain registered.

The races start and finish at the Chestnut Mountain Bridge Area. The organizer describes the courses as a short race of 6.2 miles and a long race of about 9 miles. The short-course turns are marked with blue arrows and the long-course turns with green arrows. There will be one water station on course; runners are advised to carry their own fluids and nutrition.

The event uses chip timing; timing chips are attached to the back of the race bib and runners are asked to wear their bib on the front of their clothing. Prizes will be awarded to the top ten male and top ten female finishers in each race. Near the finish line, water and light snacks will be available.

Packet pickup and on-site registration are offered at the venue on race day. Dogs are allowed in the parking and start/finish bridge area but are not permitted on the course. The organizer enforces a no refund and no deferral policy; transfers are allowed for a $2 processing fee and must follow the event transfer process. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
