The Marathon Sports family and their customers
join together each July for fun and laughter in the annual Marathon
Sports 5-Miler.The popular mid-summer
night classic in now held in the town of Weston at Weston High School.
The event was originally known as the Nike Holliston Road Race, and was held
on the third Thursday in July. The event ran for 17 consecutive
years under the Nike trademark until 1992 when the name of the event
was changed to the Marathon Sports 5-Miler. This year marks the
33rd anniversary of the race and it remains an extremely popular
event on the evening running circuit.
The race will continue to be a combination road and trail event winding through Weston
and leading the participants to the finish line at the Weston High School stadium.
The tradition and spirit of Marathon Sports
and the 5-Miler transcend the 33 years of
the event. Join Marathon Sports, our sponsors, and the city of Weston
as we continue
to support the research efforts of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
and their search
for a cure.
