Franklin Area Road Races

We're into April, if you want to run a road race in May you should already be on the roads. For those preparing for Boston, you'll be in the taper. Making the final preparations with the long runs behind you and the big day coming quick. 

There are a bunch of road races (and walks) coming up in the Franklin area.

May 11 - you have a choice between supporting the Franklin Bellingham Rail Trail Committee or the Franklin Elks. Both are fund raising for a worthy cause. You can actually support both but physically can only run one as the start this year is coincidentally at the same time for both events. Next year, the race dates will be different.

The Elks will hold their first event in what is expected to be an annual series. This event will benefit the Franklin Food Pantry and the Wounded Warrior Project. For additional information and to register visit the website  http://www.franklinelks5k.com/index.html 

The 3rd Annual 5K for the Franklin Bellingham Rail Trail Committee will be held to raise money for the further development of the trail.  http://www.franklinbellinghamrailtrail.org/3rd-annual-road-race
