Wellesley staying active in spring

Hannah Randolph One Miler
Sunday, May 10, Mother’s Day, 9am

The Wellesley 1 Miler is a 1 mile run on the roads and fields of the beautiful Elm Bank Reservation.  See the planned course map here.

The race will include a race wave, a youth wave (runners 16 and under) and a family wave. The race wave will start at 9 am and the others soon after.

We’ll have finisher medals and prizes for overall and age-group winners from our generous sponsors.

All proceeds from the race will go to the Hannah Randolph Memorial Fund, established in memory of Hannah Randolph, a Wellesley 9th grader who died in 2012. The fund provides scholarships to 9th graders who share Hannah’s passion for sports, arts, and friendship.

Relay for Life is an American Cancer Society fundraiser where people walk around the track at 1155 Central Ave, Needham and raise money to help care for cancer patients and help fund cancer research.
