Event Information
About This Event
Proceeds from all race to benefit the Walpole High School Boys & Girls Cross Country, Winter Track and Spring Track Teams.
For our 41st Annual Labor Day Road Race, we will be adding a Youth Mile that will begin at the high school and finish at the same finish line as the other two races. Because this is our first year with the Youth Mile, we will be starting it promptly at 9:15AM to ensure that runners have time to line up for the 5K Race at 10:00AM. The 5K Race will be followed immediately by the 10K Race. Tables will open for registration at 8:30 am.
This is the 41st year for the race, making it one of the oldest in the area and a wonderful Walpole tradition! We expect over 700 participants, many volunteers, and loads of cheering spectators!
Awards
10K male winner's name engraved on Herb Lewis Memorial Trophy.

Awards to top 3 men and women in each age group.
