Close to 200 runners competed over hill and dale in the 2nd annual MAD Scramble. With a route that takes runners around Turner’s Pond, up and over the lower hills of Canton Ave. and along Pine Tree Brook Trail past Pope’s Pond, it is one of the more interesting community runs in town.

The race was well-organized and there was a strong showing of public support for runners who turned out to in support of Michael A. Devin Memorial Fund.

The sports photographer Roy Chambers was on the scene and he took a gazillion pictures – if you ran that race, chances are he caught you crossing the finish line. You can find his pictures here.
