On a bluebird day of June 4, 100 participants ran, biked, rode (horses) and kayaked from Bradley Palmer, over miles of trails and down the Ipswich River to our host and platinum sponsor EBSCO Publishing in downtown Ipswich. Music by Orville Giddings filled the air as the contestants came in across the finish line of the Innaugural ECTAthlon. This team event highlighted the incredible system of trails that ECTA helps maintain, and also exposed the sheer determination to have fun that our members and supporters have. The event could not have happened without an amazing committee, generous landowners and many, many volunteers, in addition to the participants and our great sponsors: EBSCO (platinum), REI, Institution for Savings and Ipswich Ale (Gold), and New England Smallcraft, New England Running Co, Pinnacle Bikes, and The Equestrian Shop (Silver), Food by The FARM and support from MASS DCR. Get your team ready for ECTAthlon 2012!
