Recently over 100 runners traversed the hills of Montague Center to continue the tradition of the Mug and Mini Mug Races. For 44 years they have lined up at the Common, waited for the canon to fire and then followed the limed arrows to the finish line. This year there was certainly a renewed interest in the 2-mile race. Many young runners lined up with their parents and came across the finish with big smiles.
A dedicated group of volunteers covered every aspect with enthusiasm and dedication. The
members of the Montague Center Fire Department were stationed along the course to ensure a safe passage for all the runners.
Our list of sponsors include: Raus Towing, Clarity Wealth, Eagle Construction, Moretti
Landscaping, Gfld Savings Bank, Falls Farm, Turn Lawn Care, Andy’s, Renaissance Builders, Judd Wire and Touch of Sakura. Thank you for your continued support.
As always our local fiddlers gathered to provide some entertainment and to help keep Dave Kaynors’ spirit alive. Oh, how he loved this race. A request has been submitted for a tad cooler summer with less humidity in 2026. So plan on joining us. Thank you to all who supported our races in any way. These are great community events.
