About the Millis Boosters Run Back to School
The course for the longer distance rolls through the surrounding neighborhood streets, with enough ups and downs to keep it honest. The shorter option stays on school grounds, which makes it a good loop for younger kids running alongside parents. Both start near the middle and high school, and the whole morning is oriented around the athletic programs there.
Check-in opens well before the first wave goes off, and race-morning registration is available if you missed signing up ahead of time. The event draws families and kids as much as it draws runners chasing times, so the start area tends to feel more like a school morning than a racing scene.
