The New Balance Reach The Beach (RTB) Relay Race Series will start off at Wachusett Mountain Ski area in Princeton, MA. The race course winds its way through the picturesque towns and State Parks of Massachusetts and will eventually deliver you and your teammates to the southern coast of Westport at Horseneck Beach State Reservation.

Wachusett Mountain Ski Area is located in beautiful the Wachusett State Reservation and is a little over an hour (60 miles) west of downtown Boston, MA. Horseneck Beach State Reservation is located less than 1.5 hours (66 miles) from downtown Boston and is just 30 miles south of Providence, RI.

Transition Areas, or TAs, are the designated place for the runner relay exchange to take place. TA's are numbered 1 through 36 and are identified in this way on the course maps and directions.

Vehicle Transition Areas, or VTAs, are those TA locations where vehicle rotations take place from the first half and second half of your team; i.e., the first 6 runners (Van 1) and the next 6 runners (Van 2). These are the primary support locations for all teams. Each VTA will contain restroom facilities and/or port-o-johns, food and water/hydration stations, and larger parking locations for your vehicles (some locations can accommodate camping as well).

Though there will be restroom facilities at most transition areas, the VTA's were selected due to their ability to accommodate your entire team rather than an individual runner. Your team will be able to catch up on sleep and recover at these locations.

Food and beverages, if provided, have been done so at the expense and efforts of our volunteer community organizations. These are not complimentary unless indicated. So, please show your gratitude accordingly.

A bird's eye view of the race course will be coming soon. Check back in a few weeks!
