Womp Romp

Runners are asked to bring food or beverage to help stock our aid stations. We had great participation last year and donated the extra food to Safe Harbor, a resource that focuses on reducing underage substance use and addiction.

Please bring one of the following to packet pick up:

• Savory: chips, pickles, potatoes and salt, etc.
• Sweet: candy, baked goods (please include all ingredients), PB, fruit, etc.
• Liquid: Coke or Ginger Ale only, please

Your donations allow us to give more to our charity partners.

50K runners return to the start/finish before loops 2 and 3 (around miles 10.5 and 21). Leave a bag, cooler, shoes, clothes or snacks there. Your car will also be nearby.

Porta-potties are at the start/finish, and bathrooms are at the Visitor Center around mile 6. 50K runners pass them each loop.

Water, Open Fuel, candy, chips, pickles, fruit and other ultra favorites, plus whatever goodies runners bring to share.

Please carry a bottle, hydration pack or reusable cup to reduce waste.

I have been running in Wompatuck State Park for years. Often during runs I would say "someone should put on a race." Instead of waiting for someone, I decided to do it.

Wompatuck is an amazing park with great trails, and I want more people to know about it so they can enjoy it. All profits will be donated to our charity partners.

Current partners: Friends of Wompatuck, Free to Run.

Wompatuck State Park is located in Hingham, MA, just 35 minutes from downtown Boston. Rich in history, this land was originally the property of Indian chief Josiah Wompatuck, who deeded the land to English Settlers in 1665.

During WWII and the Korean War, it served as an ammunitions depot for the U.S. military. Today, it is a 3,526 acre park that extends from Hingham into the neighboring towns of Cohasset, Scituate, and Norwell.

The Friends of Wompatuck State Park (FOW), an all volunteer, not for profit group, was incorporated in early 2006 for the purpose of educating the public about the park's uses and historical value, as well as helping the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation preserve, maintain, and enhance the assets, history, and other features within the park.

Free to Run's mission is to drive change in community gender norms in conflict areas by supporting adolescent girls and young women to advance their leadership and wellness through running. We do this through providing deep, progressive leadership and wellbeing programs in conjunction with running experiences, typically to refugees, internally displaced people and girls' and women who identify as ethnic minorities.

While we work closely with communities and individuals, we are working towards a systematic shift in gender equality with a specific focus on the expansion of access to public space and leadership opportunities for girls and women.
