About
The Littleton Road Race event includes a 5-kilometer race (walkers welcome) and a 1-mile fun run (all ages welcome). Both races begin and end at Fay Park, 20 Foster Street, in Littleton, Massachusetts. The fun run begins at 2pm, with the 5k beginning at 2:30pm.
This race is a fundraiser for the Littleton Road Race & Track Organization. In 2008, we began work to promote the building of a new track and field facility in Littleton, and this facility opened in March of 2013. Proceeds from the Road Race will be used to maintain and enhance the Littleton track and field facility, as well as promote the sport of track & field in Littleton. Past projects funded by the road race include new landscaping at the entry to the track, the addition of a pole vault box and pit, a school track records board at the high school and summer track and field programs to introduce new runners to the track.
Your participation as a runner, sponsor or volunteer will help us continue this work in the community.

E-BIKE Notice: e-Bikes are welcome at the Seacoast Century with some caveats:
Riders acknowledge that electric assisted bicycles may be permitted at the Seacoast Century provided that such bikes are classified as bicycles under applicable state law, i.e., Class 1, 2, or 3 only. If a rider chooses to ride an electric assisted bicycle on the Seacoast Century routes, they must understand that the Seacoast Century may not provide support for an electric assisted bicycle.
Event Procedure and Safety
The Granite State Wheelers(GSW) Seacoast Century is our largest ride of the year. The event is limited to 900 riders. With a flat-to-rolling scenic route along the coastlines of New Hampshire and Maine (with a few hills in our 100-mile route), and a loop into Massachusetts, the Seacoast Century is a great ride. Many riders come back year after year making this event part of their annual vacation plans.
The Seacoast Century is a relaxed family-oriented event that many choose for their first Century or return each year to enjoy with friends.
We expect basic rider courtesy and safety:
• Calling ‘on your left’ when passing other riders and allowing a safe distance to pass.
• Sharing the road with vehicles, obeying traffic rules, and signal our intention to turn, stop, or pass.
• We expect riders to travel single-file on busy road sections, where single-file is required.
• No long pace lines – this is a ride, not a race.
We want to make great memories traveling along the scenic route that makes this event quite special. Please join the Granite State Wheelers for a memorable Seacoast Century ride, our 52nd!
Riders must follow all rules of the road, ride single file in traffic, not block roadways, and walk across bridges if so directed. Helmets must be worn at all times. The local police departments and ride ambassadors will monitor and assist riders.
Please help us to make this a safe and enjoyable experience for all. We work hard to build support with local towns and the states to offer this ride. Riders need to help us by riding safely and with courtesy to other vehicles and pedestrians to continue to offer this century.
The Seacoast Century tradition continues with a great ride that helps support bicycle safety and advocacy. Our aim is to provide an outstanding Century event that will bring you back to cycle the New England coast with us again.
We look forward to having you join us!

RUN MEDFORD
On September 25^th and 26^th, 2026, we’re coming together to celebrate running. Medford is where it all started for Dave McGillivray, and after more than 40 years of running adventures, he wants to show his appreciation the best way he knows how: by organizing a road race with the explicit purpose of raising funds that would directly benefit his hometown.
The 5K race is named after Jerry Panarese, who was a member of the New England 65+ Runners Club. Jerry was the director of the Run of All Ages which was held in Wakefield, MA for 25 years. The race was going to end, so we decided to include it in our Run Medford event to keep Jerry's spirit alive and going.
Bring your family and join us for our Kids Fun Run on Friday September 25^th at the Dave McGillivray Track at Hormel Stadium.
The kids' races are age-dependent distances: 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, 3/4 mile and 1 mile.
EARLY BIRD OPENING SPECIAL! We are offering a discounted fee of $35.00 + processing fee for the first 150 runners!
Age Discount Pricing:
Ages 12 and younger: the 10K Race & Jerry's Run for all Ages = $35 + processing fee
Ages 80 plus will receive a free entry
Beneficiaries:
Run for a cause! Run Medford celebrates ALL runners while giving back to the community! A portion of every race registration will be donated back to the school communities in Medford through the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation.
Join us Saturday, September 26, 2026 for our 15th Annual Voices Against Violence 5k walk/run! Packet pick-up and day-of registration starts at 7 am.

The race starts at 8 am sharp, followed by medals and raffle drawing at 9:00. The race will have chip timing and results will be available after the race on racewire.com.
Our largest fundraiser of the year, the Voices Against Violence 5k raises the necessary funds to support survivors in the MetroWest community with free, confidential services. Please consider sharing your personal fundraising page or your team's fundraising page with your family, friends and colleagues. With your help, we can provide survivors and their loved ones with the support and services they need.
Sponsoring the Voices Against Violence 5K Run/Walk is a GREAT way to support a critically important cause in your community, while raising awareness of your organization. Contact [email protected] for more information about sponsorship opportunities or to contribute a raffle prize.

About Colin's Joy Project:
Colin McGrath was killed in 2018 after being struck by a car on his way home from a wonderful day in the park. His life was full of love, laughter, curiosity. Colin lived every minute of his life to the fullest. His laughing eyes, beautiful curls, hilarious voice, and sense of adventure will never be forgotten. His smile made everyone's heart happy.
Since Colin's death, the McGrath family started a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Colin's Joy Project. The mission of Colin's Joy Project is to enhance play spaces and sponsor children and family programming in the South Boston and surrounding communities.
Colin's Joy Project has several active play space projects in development in South Boston inspired by Colin's Creativity Squad, an initiative that engages children in the community to design their own exciting, creative play spaces. Colin's Joy Project has also formed multiple community partnerships to which they have donated over $1.5M in the last 7 years! Through these partnerships, Colin's Joy Project fulfills their mission to bring joy to families the way Colin brought joy to all who knew him.
A donation to Team Colin will support these long-lasting partnerships and future projects. Learn more about our work on our website www.colinsjoyproject.org, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@colinsjoyproject) for updates!
