5K Course
This 3.1 mile scenic loop course ends with a run down Main Street and finish at the Old Meeting House. Runners will walk down Poor Farm Road for the start of the race. Runners will turn left on Todd Road where an aide station will be placed near the half-way point. They will then turn left on Pleasant Pond Road. Then left on 47 back to Main Street. There will be signs showing all turns and mile markers! This will go in the opposite direction of last year's route, which you can view with or without your Garmin device HERE.
Awards
We are working hard to have awards for the top male and female finishers not just over all, but for each age bracket (20-29, 30-39, etc.)! If you are interested in donating a product, good, or service to our awards, please contact Cyrena at WxCyrena@gmail.com.
Kid's Fun Run
We are brining back an event for the kids! This short run will start near the Library on Main Street and end at the Old Meeting House. We are still working on T-shirts and awards for the kids.
