Join us for the 3nd Annual ECTA Pan-Ipswich Challenge on Saturday May 5th. Our 20 mile walk/run from the west end of Ipswich (Hood Pond) to the coast (Steep Hill Beach) will highlight some of the best trails and open lands on the North Shore. We will cross through Willowdale State Forest, Bradley Palmer State Park, Greenbelt's Pingree Reservation, The Trustees' Appleton Farms, New England Biolabs, Maplecroft Trail then down Argilla Road to the Trustees' Steep Hill Beach.

Please join us, or if you can't make the walk, please make a pledge to support the walk. Walkers will leave at 8am. Runners will leave at 10:30 am. For those who are unable to make the full 20 miles, we will have a 10-mile group starting at Appleton Farms Grass Rides at 11:15 am. All registrants will receive details about parking closer to the event.

Participants, friends and family are welcome to attend the grand finale celebration at Steep Hill Beach where we will be joined by the Ipswich Ale truck and will be serving up hamburgers and hot dogs. And don't miss out on the "Big Steak" raffle! Ed Dick of Barrett Realty will provide mid-route refreshments at Appleton Farms Grass Rides.

All participants in the Pan-Ipswich Challenge are asked to raise a minimum of $100 on behalf of ECTA. Click here to download a pledge sheet.
