Race shirts to the first 50 entrants.

The race is endorsed by the New England 65-Plus Runners Club and will have 5-year age groups starting with 65-69. There's a $5 discount for 5-mile participants who are 65 or older.

The 5-mile course is a flat and scenic route through the Greenfield Meadows. The course begins by the Green River on Nash's Mill Road in Greenfield and continues through the “meadows”, then loops around toward Greenfield Community College. The course finishes with the last mile on the new Greenfield bike path, again along the Green River.

Walkers will walk a 3-mile loop of the bike path.

Be sure to take a dip in the river to cool off afterward!
