About the Race for DFL
Hosted in an actual backyard by a former DFL champion, this event leans into the format's communal oddity. A bonfire, shared food, camping, and beer-bell tradition keep the mood loose.
Course
The 4.167-mile yard is about 50 percent dirt singletrack or doubletrack, 40 percent crushed gravel, and 10 percent grass, with roughly 150 feet of gain.
Race-day weather
November in north-central Massachusetts can be cold, wet, or frosty. Darkness arrives early, and the bonfire does not replace proper winter layers.
