Registration now open for 31st Grafton Gazebo Road Race

It’s back! The 31st Annual Grafton Gazebo 5K Road Race is set for May 14 after a two-year hiatus brought on by the pandemic.

If the idea of taking on a 5 mile road race has kept you from running in the event, you may welcome this change — this year the distance drops from 5 miles to 5 kilometers — that’s about 3.1 miles.

The race starts and ends at the Municipal Center (30 Providence Road), while following scenic roads with a gradual uphill ascent through Grafton Common. This course is chip timed by North Shore Timing and will be a USATF Certified Race Course.

Registration is now open and runners who sign up by April 1 are guaranteed a free event t-shirt. 

Adults 18 and over may register for $25 until April 26, $35 until May 10 and day-of registration. Children 17 and under are $10 until April 26, $25 until May 10 and day-of registration.

Prizes are awarded fro the top 3 male/female in the following age groups: 8 and under, 9-11,12-14,15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+

Prizes for top 3 overall male/female:

1st Place – $150 Gift Card to Miles to Go Sports

2nd Place – (2) $50 Grafton Restaurant Gift Cards

3rd Place – $50 VISA Gift Card

All participants will be entered into a bib draw for giveaways at the conclusion of the race and prior to awards. Giveaways include Eddie Bauer gear and more. Proceeds benefit the Grafton Recreation Children’s Scholarship Fund.
