Our neighbors in Leyden are organizing a "Free Spirit 50K" (31-mile) race on Sunday, May 21, along the hilly backroads of Leyden, Colrain, Guilford and Halifax. The race will begin and end in Leyden Center and will cross the state line four times. You can view the course at https://freespirit50k.com/race-info/. Just looking at the map will leave you breathless!
If you're up for the 50K run, the organizers invite you to register on the website (there are about 30 participants so far). If you live along the course (Packers Corners Road, Sweet Pond Road, Stage Road, Amidon Road), they hope you will come out to cheer on these amazing runners. If you want to volunteer to help with the race, visit the volunteer sign-up at https://signup.com/go/WCmoDFo.
For those who'd like a shorter run, the Leyden library is hosting a 5K race on the same day through the heart of Leyden. The course is suitable for a run or a walk. Guilford and Halifax neighbors are warmly invited to join in. The 5K is a fundraiser for the library (the smallest library in Massachusetts). You can register at this link up until the day of the race:
