This is an out and back trail. The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail is a rail trail through the communities of Lowell, Chelmsford, Westford, Carlisle, Acton, Concord, Sudbury, and Framingham in Massachusetts — following the 25-mile route of the old New Haven Railroad Framingham & Lowell line. The trail has a 10-foot wide pavement with a 2-foot wide packed shoulder on each side. The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail is open to non-motorized uses such as cycling, jogging, walking, rollerblading, and skiing. Perhaps we can do 2 miles out and 2 miles back?
Bring water, snacks, shoes comfortable for walking, a friendly attitude, and perhaps a friend as well! This is a group to encourage BIPOC to come out on the trails, so if you are not a BIPOC, you are welcome to join us, but please consider bringing a person of color along with you.
Guests are welcome whether BIPOC or not. Be sure they understand the risks and that they are also held under the liability release below. Also be sure they have the equipment they need to keep things safe and fun.
Event is subject to change depending on weather conditions.
