Event Overview
The Scarecrow Classic 5K returns for its 13th year in the historic town of Lincoln. This event brings together hundreds of participants to run or walk through a course that features local roads, fields, and trails. The race serves as a fundraiser for the Lincoln Land Conservation Trust (LLCT), a non-profit organization that manages over 2,500 acres of land and nearly 80 miles of public trails in the Greater Boston Area.
Course Information
The 5 km route is designed to showcase the scenic landscape of the region, including transitions between paved roads and natural trails. In an effort to minimize environmental impact, the event is organized as a "green race." Participants are required to bring their own water bottles, as water is not provided along the course or at the finish line. Dedicated storage for water bottles is available near the finish area.
Participant Amenities and Information
Those participating in the event can look forward to cider donuts at the finish line. The event also includes the following details:
- 5 km run or walk
- Packet pickup available on the Saturday prior to the race and on the morning of the event in Lincoln, MA
- Previous years' race shirts available for purchase at the LLCT table
- Awards for various categories
The race follows local and state public health recommendations. Registration proceeds directly support the conservation mission of the LLCT, one of the oldest land trusts in the United States. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
