TheCraneisa1900-acreareapurchasedbytheCommonwealthfromtheCranebrothersandnamedin
memory of their mother. It is managed by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and
popularamonghunters,birders,dog-walkers,equestrians,trailrunners,andmountainbikers,whohave
builtanintricatenetworkofsingle-tracktrails(andsomehidden“northshore”structures).Theeastern
part, near the start/finish area, is a patchwork of field and forest that has been managed to produce
ideal quail and woodcock habitat. It is flat and
sandy,theproductofbraidedoutwashstreams
from melting glaciers to the west. Once you
crosstherailroadtracks(stillusedbythetrash
train), you are on the outer part of the race
loop, which is hilly and boulder-strewn, and
traverses some of the highest terrain on Cape
Codat250feet.Thisisaportionoftheglacial
moraine that extends down the Cape, through
the Elizabeth Islands, and eventually to Block
Island and Fishers Island. As the glaciers
retreated, huge chunks of ice were stranded,
surrounded by deposits of boulders, sand, and clay. When the chunks melted, kettle holes formed.
These are round depressions 200 – 500 feet across and maybe 50 – 75 feet deep, some with vernal
pondsinthebottom.YouwillpassaniceoneyourleftafterthesummitofMtZig(whereanillegalswing

The Crane Wildlife Management Area is a popular spot for trail riding and off-leash dog activities,

Wehavegottengoodadvicefromalocaltraineronhowtohandleencounterswithdogs…atthisraceor
anywhere else. She reminds us that, no matter how well trained they are, dogs are dogs, and do not
have the same social norms that people, or even trail runners, do. Dogs display a range of
temperaments based on their social rank and the job they do for their group. Low-ranking dogs are
easiertohandle.Higher-rankingdogschallengeusmoreandmaynottoleratehumaninsubordinationor
incompetence.Whenmeetingadog,don’tjustasktheownerifitisoktotouchthedog,askthedog
too. Dogs need people to act friendly by stopping, removing hats and sunglasses, using high-pitched
