Logistics
The race starts in front of Grafton TV and finishes in the municipal center parking lot at 30 Providence Road. Because the finish is at the municipal center, that parking lot will be closed during the event; participants are asked to use the High School parking at 24 Providence Road. Walkers and strollers are not permitted due to event size. Day-of registration may be available depending on remaining spots. Bib pickup is scheduled on the days before the race at the Municipal Center Recreation Office and at Grafton TV, with additional pickup on race day at Grafton TV. Sponsors include Connections PT, Unibank, Smith Solutions, Gaudette Insurance, and O'Malley Chiropractic. Updates are posted on the race Facebook page.
