A Fast, Scenic, Downhill Mile

Get ready to fly down one of the most beautiful stretches in Massachusetts — the Moose Hill Parkway in Sharon. The Moose Hill Mile is a point-to-point downhill road mile that combines breathtaking scenery with pure speed.

Starting near the summit of Moose Hill, runners will descend a smooth, shaded road lined with tall pines and sweeping views, finishing near the base of the parkway. It’s the perfect mix of nature, community, and competition — whether you’re chasing a new mile PR, testing your fitness, or just here for the thrill of the drop.

Course Highlights:

🚀 Fast, net-downhill course

🌲 Scenic, tree-lined parkway through Moose Hill Reservation

📸 Great photo spots along the course and finish line

🏅 Awards for top finishers and age groups

☕ Post-race hangout with local coffee and refreshments

Flat and Fast Out and Back along Norwood 4th of July Parade Route

Run in front of thousands of spectators

$25 Registration Fee

Prizes for top 3 overall male and female finishers

Medals for top 3 finishers in each age group

Free t-shirt to the first 100 registered runners.

Road Race is competitive and is kept on a timely pace. No prolonged stopping will be permitted unless in case of emergency.

Advance registration will end July 2 at 8am.

For those pre-registered, you can begin to pickup your bib and T-shirt 3:45pm on July 4 at Norwood Town Common, adjacent to 566 Washington Street. Race begins promptly at 5pm.

On-site registration begins 3:30pm July 4. Look for the marked tent on the Norwood Town Common.

With a legit 12.3 mile Time Trial, this is the fastest bike course around. Not to mention a shady and flat 4.4 mile run around a beautiful lake! The Swim is 1/2 Mile of calm and clean waters. If you haven't raced in Sharon for a while, come check out what Max has done with some simple changes to this classic course and our signature post race BBQ. You'll love this race!
