May 5K In Westborough Will Support High School Scholarships

WESTBOROUGH, MA — A road race celebrating spring will be held in Westborough this weekend with funds going toward scholarships for local students.

The Westborough Rotary Club's 17th annual Mayfest Fun Run starts at the high school on Sunday morning, offering local runners (and walkers) a "challenging 5 kilometer loop over rolling and scenic country roads."

Proceeds from the race will go to support the rotary club's annual high school scholarship program. There will also be a race for kids following the conclusion of the 5K.

"Mayfest celebrates the arrival of spring, nature’s bright reawakening after winter’s cold and darkness. Mayfest has its roots in one of mankind’s oldest traditions - the celebration of rebirth and renewal that comes with the season. This ancient festival evolved to become a colorful, joyous part of history and culture, with distinctive traditions like here in Westborough, greeting the warmer weather with a Fun Run through town," the club says of the event.
