Event Information
About the Race
The Charlton Old Home Day 5 Mile Road Race is just one of the many events and activities that are part of Charlton's Old Home Day celebration held annually on Labor Day (see http://townofcharlton.net/oldhomedaycom.htm for details). The race starts and ends at the Common in the center of town and follows a figure-8 course that brings the runners back through the Common area and past the spectators halfway through the race. Most participants consider it a challenging race due to the hilly nature of the course.
Register early! The registration fee changes to $15 on 8/26/2016.
NEW FOR 2016: Walkers are Welcome!
Pre-register as a Walker by the deadline and receive your choice of t-shirt size and style.
