Celebrate spring by running (or walking) in the 19th annual Heartbreak Hill Youth Road Race. A one-mile race, up and down historic Heartbreak Hill on Sunday, April 17th - the day before the Boston Marathon between noon and 3pm.
It is not as serious as it sounds. It is tons of fun, with music, hip-hop warm ups, face painting, raffle prizes, medallions and goody bags for all the runners - and lots of cheering and celebrating! For the serious runners, it is also a sanctioned USA Track & Field race with finish line digital display clock timing and plenty of competition, not to mention trophies for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners in each category. Not a runner? Join Mayor Setti Warren for the Family walk at 3:00, and walk the course.
Register on line at www.newtoncommunitypride.org. The first 500 entries get a free t-shirt. All registrants get a free ticket to the pre-race pasta/pizza party at Newton City Hall on Saturday, April 16th at 5:30pm.
