Race Brook Hosting Third Annual Rockin' Road Race

Race Brook School is hosting its third annual Race Brook Rockin’ Road Race tomorrow, June 9. This year’s event includes a 5K run/walk and kids’ fun run.

The race will begin and end at on Grannis Road and is sure to be a morning of fun and activity for runners, walkers and families. The kids' run begins at 9 and the 5K run/walk begins at 10 a.m. 

Last year’s race was a big success with more than 200 runners and walkers participating. As a result, the Race Brook School PTA raised in excess of $3,000 with the help of generous supporters. This year, the group has a goal to raise $4,500 that will be used to enhance both educational and fitness activities for students at Race Brook.

The race course will be USATF certified, and prizes will be awarded to the first male and female finisher in each age group. The 1-mile Kids' Fun Run will take place on the track behind the school, and all kids will receive a ribbon to acknowledge their participation.

All participants will be entered into the post-race raffle for some great prizes: gift certificates, gift baskets and other items. In keeping with the ‘Rockin’ theme, the event will also feature live music at the finish line and along the race course.

Anyone who is interested in running the full 5K or participating in the Kids’ Fun Run can email RaceBrook5K@gmail.com.
