23rd Annual Groton Labor Day 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run
We are still planning to hold the 23rd Annual Labor Day race on September 7th. We are very hopeful
that by that time conditions will have improved to the point where we will be allowed to host the race.
The organizing committee is currently planning
to wait until the beginning of August to make a final decision. If we are allowed to host the race, the race
entry will probably not be available online before the beginning of August.

Registration
2020 registration information will be posted when available.
Course:
The course follows village streets (2.5 miles), an old railroad
bed (0.5 miles), and finishes on the high school track. Some flat terrain,
with a few steady inclines and declines, and one short, steep hill just
before the one mile mark.
Due to different distances being run during the 2019 Dryden Run for the Pride,
the final 2019 Triple Town Grand Prix Series standings are based on the combined times of the Lansing Lighthouse 5K
and Groton Labor Day 5K from among the competitors that completed all three races.
