Womp Romp : Wompatuck State Park, Hingham MA
Womp Romp is an annual trail running event held at Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, Massachusetts. The event offers two distances on a looped course that mixes singletrack, wide trails and sections of pavement. Expect roots, rocks, leaves and likely mud on the route. The 50K consists of three loops totaling about 31 miles, while the 10 Miler is a single loop.
Two aid station locations serve runners each loop: the start/finish area and the Visitor Center around mile 6. Aid stations provide water and a variety of fuel including candy, chips, pickles and fruit; participants are asked to bring additional savory, sweet or liquid items to help stock the stations. The race operates cupless, so runners should carry their own bottle, hydration pack or reusable cup. 50K runners may leave drop bags at the start/finish for use between loops.
The event is volunteer run and covers its costs through entry fees; remaining proceeds are donated to charity partners including Friends of Wompatuck and Free to Run. Registered participants by September 20 receive a long sleeve tech shirt; 10 Miler finishers get a patch and 50K finishers receive a mug. The 50K has a nine hour cutoff.
