🏃♂️ Race Overview
Join us for this annual 5 mile road race and enjoy a great meal after the race! The race has been run for over 30 years and has unofficially become known as "The Potato Race" for the free bag of potatoes all participants receive. Dedicated to its founder and dedicated runner Dan Barry, all proceeds go to Lions Club Charities and assisting local community causes. This year's race will go towards supporting the veterans of the Veterans Home at Holyoke.
