It’s time to dust off your running shoes and start training for the 45th annual Mattapoisett Road Race, which will start at Shipyard Park at 9:00 am on July 4. The 5-mile course is mostly shaded and winds through the village of Mattapoisett, around Ned’s Point lighthouse and back to Shipyard Park. There are cheering crowds, plentiful water stops, and drinks and fruit for the runners at the finish line. All proceeds from the race are awarded to college-bound Old Rochester Regional High School athletes. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, over $125,000 dollars have been awarded throughout the history of the race. Award applications are available on the website or at the ORRHS guidance office. The deadline for the applications has been extended until May 1.
More information about the race and registration is available on-line at mattapoisettroadrace.com. T-shirts are guaranteed to the first 750 entrants.
