The Montague Mug and Mini Mug Races were held on a cool, overcast morning. Perfect conditions for running. As the cannon fired and broke the stillness the sound of sneakers pounding the pavement could be heard down Main Street before fading off as the runners headed for the hills. Over 100 participants would come across the finish line with a dedicated group of volunteers waiting. The Montague Center Fire Department was stationed along the course to ensure safety, always a dependable team.
Our list of sponsors include: Raus Towing, Montague Mill, Knowledge is Power, Moretti Landscaping, Falls Farm, Village Store, Renaissance Builders, Greenfield Savings Bank, McCarthy Funeral Home, Barstows Bakery, Montague WebWorks and Marathon Sports and Turns Lawn Care.
The Montague Highway stepped up to fill pot holes, cut back brush and swept the course after a summer of heavy rains. The course was in great shape, thank you. While the Recorder gave us great press coverage.
Great to have our local fiddlers at Tracys Turn to welcome back our runners. Thanks to everyone who ran, gave time and donated items to keep this local event “running.”
