The North Shore Trail Series features six local trail races spread across six months. We've worked hard to put together a series that showcases the best trail running the North Shore has to offer. Over the course of the series you will experience gentle carriage roads, rocky single track, ocean vistas, and private estates normally closed to the public. With races ranging from a 5k to marathon, by the end of the series you will have experienced the full gamut of trail racing here on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Though the emphasis is on participation, we will be offering awards to top overall finishers and to top age group finishers.

Packet pick up will be held at New England Running Company the day before each race from 10-7PM. Those who pick up their number early will be eligible to enter to win a pair of Montrail shoes. Winners will be announced after each race. In addition, all non sale Montrail shoes will be discounted 20% for the day.
Scoring:
Runners score points based on their time as a percentage of the winner's overall time, making every second count! For example, a winning time of 41:08 gets 100.00 points; a time of 42:21 is worth 97.13, and 1:20:32 gets 51.08 (the winning time being just about 50 percent of that runner's time). Women's scoring is based on 100.00 points for the first female finisher. A runner's top 5 of 6 races are totaled. Twentyfive bonus points will be awarded to any runner completing all 6 races.
Clarification: Runners do NOT have to complete 5 races to be counted in the series scoring. While the top 5 of 6 will be scored, it is possible to place with fewer than 5 races completed.
Awards:
Runners who complete all six races will be awarded a Montrail series sweatshirt. Runners who complete 5 of 6 races will be awarded a series t-shirt. Overall male/female winners will be awarded one free pair of Montrail shoes along with a $250.00 gift certificate to New England Running Company and a gift package from the Essex County Greenbelt Association.
Age group male/female winners will receive awards in the following four divisions:
- 39 and under
- 40-49
- 50-59
- 60 and over
There will be an awards banquet at New England Running Company on November 17, at 7PM.
