Old Sandwich Road Race and Boy Scouts of America ... A perfect Fit!

In 2011, the Old sandwich Road race started a partnership with the Boyscouts of America to man all waterstops for the featured half marathon race. In 2012, we're taking this relationship to the next level and partnering again with the Boyscouts in support of "National Trails Day", which is on June 2nd, the date of the OSRR Half Marathon. This is our third year supportiung National Trails Day, a national movement for the awareness and improvement of hiking trails throughout America.

In support of National Trails Day and the Old Colony Council of the Boyscouts, runners will have an annual opportunity to gather up area trail maps and learn more about National Trails Day at the race. The Boy Scouts will man the booth which you can visit and learn more.

To support the Boy Scouts Cranberry Harbors District and their great preservation and conservation work, the OSRR is announcing FREE race participation to runners raising $250 or moe for the Old Colony Council Boy Scouts.

Thanks!!

1/1/2012 The 2012 OSRR Race Committee Announces $3000 winner-take-all purse for the Half Marathon

Message from the OSRR Race Director - "All you speedsters out there might want to start training harder!".

That's because first place in the 2012 OSRR Half Marathon feature event will come with a $3000 purse. Top male and Female runners in the Half Marathon will receive $1500 respectively for beating everyone else in the feild. This decision was based on the fact that we have always planned for the OSRR to be a larger format and Nationally recognized road racing event.

"We doubled our participants in 2011 and drew runners from 37 US States in just our second year. Now we're doubling our efforts again in 2012 by putting our money where our mouth is. We want runners from near and far and we want the fastest runners. We aim to place Plymouth and the Old Sandwich Road Race on the National running scene map once again this year as we have our first two years." -- Race Director

Our Charities

1) Boy Scouts of America- Cranberry Harbors District - Website

in 2012, we've started a year #1 pilot partnership involving the Boy Scouts, National Trail Day (June 2nd) and the Old Sandwich Road Race. This program is designed to allow runners to raise money and also to provide a community service opportunity to the Boy Scouts.

Here is how it works.. any runner can chose to raise $250 to support the Boy Scouts in exchange for a race entry and all the ammenities available to all registered runners, including a free shirt! We hope this program will grow each year and bring much needed financial resources to the Boy Scouts of Southern Massachusetts. 100% of the money raised through this program will go directly to the Boyscouts. JOIN UP [HERE] !

2) South Shore Community Action Council - Greater Plymouth Food Warehouse (ACCESS|OUTREACH|NUTRITION) - Website

In just our first race with this new program, our runners donated a total of 562 lbs. of food, providing 423 meals to those in need.

Do to the amazing success of the first race, we will be making this a standard part of all our road races moving forward. So, spring into action runners! Please remember to bring your can of food with you on race day, June 2nd or June 3rd. We will have a truck and volunteers to collect al food donations near the registration area.
