All gravel segments will be New Strava segments with entrants times posting after the race. Awards will be given for winners for the OA finish in each catagory.

Or you can make a donation to the Whitin Community Center www.whitincommunitycenter.com. This is a completely Non-Profit event to give back to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our FREEDOM!
The GPS track is provided. It follows the entire NS trail from Douglas, MA 78 miles to Blue Shutters Beach in Charlestown, RI. The Buck Hill section is “by passed” because it’s unridable. Everything on the Track can be ridden by a skilled rider. There is a mix of road, gravel, cart roads, single track and some short “hike a bike” sections. Any bike Gravel or Mountain Bike with no wider than 2.1 tires will be a good choice to best manage the course. The woods are pretty buggy so, bring bug repellent.
The best plan is to have your Family spend the day at Blue Shutters Beach in Charlestown, RI where the ride Finished. Changing and shower facilities are available at the Beach. You do need to pay for a day beach pass but, after 5 PM entry is free. I anticipate a finish around 4 PM.
Pre Registration Only, No Race Day Entries

Sloppy Jon’s 2026
Sloppy Jon’s is a community-focused, mixed-surface ride hosted by It’s Just A Hill. This is not a race. There is no podium. It is a social ride built around challenging routes, good company, and bringing people together through bikes.
Start Location (New for 2026)
Sloppy Jon’s will start and finish at the Woody Lowden Recreation Center in Foster, RI.
After three years of rolling out from Jon’s house, the event is taking a small step forward and using a proper start location. This gives us more space, better parking, and a smoother day for everyone while keeping the same community-first feel.
Please respect the recreation center, property, and neighbors. We want to be invited back.
Registration & Capacity
Sloppy Jon’s is a free event. We do not want money to be a barrier to entry or participation.
Registration is limited to 150 riders. Please only sign up if you genuinely plan to attend. If your plans change, we ask that you withdraw your registration so someone on the waitlist can take your spot.
A waitlist will be enabled once the event fills. If space opens up, riders will be admitted in the order they joined the waitlist. We appreciate everyone helping keep this fair and accessible for the whole community.
Routes & Support
There will be five total route options, consistent with previous years, including multiple gravel routes and paved options.
All gravel routes will pass the IJAH x NBX rest stop, with hydration and snacks provided by those organizations. Some routes will also pass classic local general stores, including Oneco Market. Additional route details, distances, and elevation will be shared closer to the event.
This is a mostly self-supported ride. Riders are responsible for navigation, hydration, nutrition, and mechanical support. That said, all routes will include opportunities to stop at convenience stores along the way.
Route changes will be allowed prior to the event, pending availability.
Event Support
Putting Sloppy Jon’s together does come with real costs. Renting the race center, providing ride snacks, and covering basic logistics all add up. We believe the time and money spent are worth it for the local cycling community, and optional donations help make that possible.
If you are able to contribute, thank you. If not, no problem at all. Show up, ride your bike, and be part of it.
Post-Ride
After the ride, everyone is invited to stick around for a post-ride potluck, featuring signature Sloppy Joe sandwiches and dirt cups for dessert.
Event Details
Routes, timing, and final details will be shared closer to the event date via Strava and the It’s Just A Hill channels.

The Marlborough Community Foundation Race: Back and Better than Ever!
The Marlborough Community Foundation Race, created over 30 years ago, was designed to bring together the community in celebration of health, spirit, and giving back. What started as a small local event has grown into an annual tradition, attracting over 250 runners and raising funds for scholarships that support local students' higher education.
After a brief hiatus, the race is back—this time partnering with the Wayside Inn Foundation to revitalize the event. The collaboration brings new energy and a broader focus on community, with employees from local businesses joining in and strengthening community ties. Whether running, walking, or participating in a corporate challenge, everyone can contribute to a great cause.
Proceeds will benefit the economic development of the foundations service areas. The revitalized race celebrates fitness, community, and education, while supporting both the foundation’s mission and the Wayside Inn’s legacy.
Join us this year to make a difference, celebrate local pride, and help ensure the race continues to impact future generations. It’s going to be the best one yet!

Online registration closes at 9 p.m. Sept. 30. Fees go up another $10 for day-of-ride registration.
Bicycle around the Quabbin Reservoir, a pristine jewel in the heart of Massachusetts. Choose from two road routes (64 or 101 miles) or two gravel routes (approximately 44 or 77 miles, each approximately half paved). Not much traffic; plenty of hills.
Start/finish for all routes is at Hardwick Winery, 3305 Greenwich Road, Hardwick, MA 01082. Check-in opens at 6:45 a.m. Start times are flexible, but we recommend century riders and gravel riders start 7:00-8:00 a.m., and road metric riders start 8:00-9:00 a.m. All routes except the Road Metric will stop at Petersham Common.
Routes will not be arrowed. Routes will be scouted prior to the event for road/trail conditions and may be modified accordingly. Final Ride with GPS links will be emailed to online registrants the week before the ride.

Not sure which route is for you? Not to worry -- you can change your selection online at any time before registration closes. You can even wait until ride day and decide in the middle of the ride. Both road routes are the same until the Quabbin Visitor Center, at mile 18. Both gravel routes go to the Petersham rest stop at mile 28. So whether you're on the road or the gravel, you can decide partway how to continue.
Limited to 150 riders.
