Grills Trail Run

The Grills Trail Run is the second event in the WTAC Fall Trail Race Series. Held in Westerly, Rhode Island, the event utilizes the trail networks of the Grills Preserve. The courses consist of approximately 80% single-track and 20% double-track paths.

Participants can choose between two distinct distances:
