Course

Tough Tiger is an adventure-based course, geared toward kindergarten through 5th grade students and their families; however, people of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate. There are two course options: a 1.5 mile loop through the neighborhood streets and nearby woods, and a shorter adaptive course that stays on neighborhood streets and sidewalks, making it more accessible. The shorter course also has more adaptive features to cater to a range of abilities. Both courses start and end at Hampden Meadows School. Participants can choose, on the day, to complete the longer or shorter course (or both). There is no need to indicate a preference when registering. For more information on the two courses, see the course map. If you are not sure which course is most appropriate for you, or someone you know, please contact HMS.
