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.

FIRST TIME RACERS
We at Kilowatt Cross value the importance of 1st time racers. We strive to make them feel welcome and will try to ensure they have a positive first experience with Cyclocross.
There will be an introduction clinic on Saturday, September 26th at 8 AM, open to new and beginner riders. You will ride the course and learn how to navigate the twists, turns, and obstacles. You will also learn basic skills to give you an edge on race day. You can sign up on the registration page.

The 3 Beach Minimum Half Marathon is a spectacular run that starts at expansive Nantasket Beach, then follows the coastline through beautiful Cohasset before doubling back on itself in a shaded Scituate neighborhood, giving you a second helping of all that gorgeous scenery. Top it all off with a beachside post-race party and you've got everything you need to make it a great day.
Benefitting the American Liver Foundation as well as local Cohasset, Scituate and Hull charities, this very well could be your new favorite half, and the perfect way to wrap up summer!

You are about to enjoy one of the best cycling events in New England - during Vermont's fall foliage season. We are looking forward to meeting you and having you enjoy our mostly quiet backroads, miles from big towns, for some terrific cycling. And don't forget our after-party on beautiful Town Hill, overlooking the Green Mountains of Vermont, where we'll have a live band and great food and libations.
How to earn a Hungry Lion Bike Tour pro cycling jersey …
Once again, this year, we are offering two options to earn our unique jersey (last year's version shown below) - You can pay $100 with your registration OR you can follow the former procedure by agreeing to raise a minimum of $300 in sponsorship donations (not hard to do!) by the day of our event. As always, this one will be a collectors item as it is designed with original art by a local Vermont artist. All you need to do is select your preferred method and include your size (Womens' sizing is available) at the registration page. Then we will know that you are on board to help fight hunger in southern Vermont! Let's do this - thank you!

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!

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.

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!
