Medals are provided to the following male and female divisions: Age 17 and younger; Open (18-39); Masters (40+); first Marlboro resident (M & F); and fastest parent and child Award (add times of parent & child).
The race starts on the corner of Lincoln and Pleasant Streets. After a short run to Main St, you run through the downtown area and finishing in front of Marlborough City Halls on streets closed to traffic that day. After you’ve finished the run, you can enjoy all that the City of Marlborough has to offer at the Heritage Day Fair from the Annual Clam Chowder competition to the numerous vendors on hand displaying their wares. This is a fun family event.
