Due to an oversight, it was not appreciated that the Mt. Tom State Park closing hours were scheduled to change from 6:00 PM to 4:00 PM in the past week. At closing time, the gates will be locked and there will be no way for vehicles to leave the park short of contacting the State Police (which we would certainly prefer not to do). We have negotiated an extension to 4:30 PM on Saturday, but all competitors are advised to make adequate preparations to leave the park on time. If you feel an earlier start time is a necessary precaution, please contact the registrar.
