Clocker Club 5k Fundraiser

Important Race Information for Registered Runners:  (for not yet registered runners--see below)

Hi Runners!

Thank you for registering for the Beat the Clock 5K! We are so grateful for your support of the Ashland Clocker Club, the high school athletic boosters that help support athletics at Ashland High School and Ashland Middle School. We’re so excited to welcome you this Sunday, October 25th at 9:00 AM for a great morning of running, community spirit, and high school pride. Below are all the details you need to get race-day ready!

To make race morning a little easier, we invite you to pre-check in and pick up your race bib & shirt on Saturday, October 24th, from 2:00–4:00 PM at Clover Road Brewery in Ashland, MA. Stop by, grab your bib and shirt, and get ready to race!

If Saturday doesn't work for you, you can also check in and pick up your bib & shirt on Sunday morning 8:15-8:45 AM, before the race starts.  (You can pick up your shirt either before or after the race)

Additional Info:

School bathrooms will be open and available for use.  Free water and bananas will be waiting for you at the finish line.

The course officially closes at 10:30 AM (1.5 hours after start). After that time, runners are still welcome to finish but will be running at their own risk.  We will have a limited number of extra race shirts available for purchase at the event ($15)— grab one while they last! 

We are excited to see you Sunday morning for a great day of running, community, and Clocker pride! Thank you again for being part of the Beat the Clock 5K and for supporting our student-athletes.

See you at the starting line!

Go Clockers!
