Our run/walk takes place on a course that starts in the heart of our downtown center.
Start on Main St, turn left on East Broadway, right on Elm St. From there you’ll run through the historic section of town and out on Elm St.
The turn around is just before Main St & you’ll pass the water table on the way back.
A short loop around the park where the historically famous Shakespeare Theater was llcated
(it burned to the ground a few years ago).
Then you’re back on the roads you went out & finish line at the Stratford Theatre on Main St.
PLEASE DO NOT GIVE AWAY OR EXCHANGE YOUR BIB WITH SOMEONE!
IT REALLY CAUSES HUGE PROBLEMS, MESSES UP EVERYONES’ RESULTS
AND DELAYS EMERGENCY RESPONSE!
