From the organizer
Bound for the Hounds 6 Hour Ultra is being held to raise funds to support our local dog park! Runners and walkers will have 6 hours to complete as many 2.3 mile out-and-backs of the Manchester Gateway Trail as they choose. The trail is made of packed cinder and pavement (similar to the canal path) and has gentle rollers that seem to grow as the day goes on. *Your canine companions are welcome as long as they are well-behaved on a leash at all times!
*The race director reserves the right to ask a dog's human to remove their dog from the event if any issues arise.
