The Moonwacker is an all-night trail race at the Rice Complex on the night of the full moon on Saturday August 19th, 2025.   The course is a 2 mile grass trail loop of mostly flat terrain with a few hills and windy turns.   The race will start at sunset and finish at sunrise.   Participants can enter as a Team (any size), as a Solo (1 person only), or as a Free Agent (will be matched with a Team) .   For teams, only one runner runs at a time.  The Team and Solo running the most laps by the time the sun comes up wins!  The race duration is 9 hours and 11 minutes, so it's possible winners might cover 50 miles or more.    

​

Registration is limited to the first 200 entrants and you, Wrentham Runner, are getting the first dibs.  You can register here.  

 

If you register by June 21st you will also receive a Moonwacker T-Shirt.
