The Norfolk Pub Run is a quarter century old now and the much-anticipated annual race will take place Saturday, December 20, starting at 10:30 a.m. from Town Hall.
The festive holiday race traverses 10 miles and features a challenging course along country roads around Doolittle Lake. The “early wave”—those runners who expect to run 100 minutes or more—begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by competitive runners at 11:00 a.m. The finish line, also at Town Hall, closes by 1:15 p.m.
There will be post-race celebrations at the Norfolk Pub.
Sponsor Greystone Racing will provide digital timing and a $100 reward for a new course record. The Masters division winner can earn a $50 prize for a new course record. To date, runner Chris Zablocke holds the course record for men, coming in at 53:09 in 2011. Claudia Camargo set the women’s record at 1:00:33, in 2006.
