Children under the age of 9 will not be permitted to run due to insurance limitations. Please note, a waiver of liability is required of all runners. A parent or guardian must sign for runners under 18 years old.

Trophies will be awarded to the first three finishers in each of 10 age groups. As tradition has it in this hometown race, only Sudbury residents, Sudbury employees or runners who grew up in Sudbury are eligible to win trophies and prizes, but other runners are certainly welcome.

The race and all its amenities would not be possible without the very generous support of our sponsors, especially Graphic Connections, Bullfinchs Restaurant and Sudbury Farms.
