Registration now open for annual Canton Fall Classic

Runners get ready for the start of last year’s Fun Run.

The Canton Fall Classic road race will celebrate its 26^th year on Sunday, October 26, offering more than $2,400 in cash and merchandise prizes. Registration is now underway for the Fall Classic’s 10K and 5K competitive distances, and for the one-mile Fun Run. The race begins at 10 a.m. (Fun Run at 9:45 a.m.) at Temple Beth Abraham, 1301 Washington Street in Canton.

Well over 1,000 runners, spectators, and volunteers from across the south shore enjoy this annual event, widely regarded as one of the most scenic and challenging races in the area. The races are wheel-measured with split times and ample water stations. Refreshments, entertainment, and award ceremonies conclude the race. Long-sleeved dri-tech t-shirts are guaranteed for the first 500 entrants. All pre-entrants will be entered in a raffle that will be drawn while the race is in progress.

Special cash bonus prizes will be awarded for new course records, with $500 going to the racer who sets a new 10K record (22 years old!), which stands at 30:12; $100 for a new women’s 10K record; and $50 for a new 5K record. Merchandise prizes will be awarded to the top age group finishers, and there is a small cash purse for overall winners and course records. The 10K and 5K races will include seven age divisions: Under 18, Open (18-29), Submaster (30-39), Master (40-49), Senior (50-59), Veteran (60+), and Super Vet (70+).

Registration is open. Pre-registration for the 10K and 5K races is $25, and the Fun Run registration is only $10.
