Hello Runners! Early bib number pickup will be available this Wednesday after 12:00 noon and all day Thursday (only) at Westfield Running Company, 123 Quimby St, Westfield. This is not necessary. It is purely optional. In addition, this year’s scoring chip (4 Milers) will be disposable. It will come attached to your number. When you receive it, make sure you put it on your sneaker the day of the race. Take a look at other runners if you need assistance.

*New this year*** On race day, July 4th, we will be collecting non-perishable food items to deliver to a local food pantry. Summertime is an important time to donate as food pantry inventory can thin out. Should you want to participate in the food drive, some of the items needed are: drink mixes, iced tea, snacks, sugar, cereal, instant mashed potatoes, canned meals, Dinty Moore beef stew in a can, rice (seasoned or not) and paper products.

Thank you again for all of your support. See you Sunday!
