New Foxfield Grass Course
We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the ongoing hospitality and generosity of the new Foxfield Board of Directors, we will be hosting, a course totally on a finely manicured grass path around the scenic, rolling perimeter of this magnificent property!
Note that each slot will NOT start together as one single wave. It will be a rolling start so as to keep everyone as physically distanced and safe as possible. You just have to begin your race within 15 minutes after your starting time.
So for example, if you are the 8:45 wave, you can begin anytime between 8:45-9:00. We will not let people start before their specified slot time.
Masks will be required until after you start and all volunteers will be masked as well. Details on all of our safety protocols for this new Foxfield version will be emailed to you the week of the race. And worried about getting your feet wet? Then bring a dry pair of shoes and socks for the drive home. Let’s have some fun!
