GDEF Octoberfest 5K in October

Save the date for the Groton Dunstable Education Foundation's 3rd annual Octoberfest 5K - Road Race, Walk and Kids Run, Sunday, Oct. 14, at Larter Memorial Field, Groton St., Dunstable.  Last year's event drew more than 350 participants, raising approximately $10,000 for educational grants to all five public schools in Groton and Dunstable.

  The 5K Road Race and Walk follow the same closed certified course, with walkers beginning at 8:30 a.m., followed by runners at 9 a.m. The Kids Run features races for grades K-6 around the Larter track by grade level between 10:30 a.m. and noon. Register before Sept. 24 to receive a $5 registration discount and a guaranteed race t-shirt.  For more information and to register online or by mail, visit www.gdefinc.org.
