Join us for the inaugural Artifact Cider Project 10k, to help us cap off our Spring Racing Series. With a rolling 10K course through beautiful Florence, MA and an after party at the Artifact Cider Project Cellar, you won’t want to miss this sell-out event!
"Artifact Cider Project is a craft cider company in Massachusetts. Using local apples and innovative cidermaking practices, we create ciders that are as authentic, eclectic, and forward-looking as the region they come from."
Sponsorship dollars will go to the Children's Advocacy Center of Hampshire County. For sponsorship information, please reach out to info@impactracingevents.com
Course
This route will start and finish at the Artifact Cider Project nestled in the beautiful village of Florence, MA. The out and back course will take you out of the hustle and bustle of downtown Florence and into the countryside with a few rolling hills and many views of local farms and conservation areas. The course will have 407 feet of elevation gain. The second half of the course is mostly downhill and we will have a party and cider waiting for you at the finish line!
The race course will have a 2 hour time limit.
If you are aiming for a PR, some beautiful scenery, or if you just love drinking some of the best cider in the valley, this is the race for you! We will have aid stations stocked with water, electrolytes and positivity every two miles.
• There will be a 2 hour race limit.
