20th Annual Corrib Classic 5K on Sunday in West Roxbury

The starter's pistol will sound for the 20th annual Corrib Classic 5K on Sunday at noon from Lagrange Street in front of Billings Field.

Register here for $25, or $30 the day of the race at the Corrib Pub & Restaurant from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

While this year's race will still be a fundraising effort, it will not be going to Parkway-area charities, like the more than $938,000 raised since the first race in 1994.

"...this year’s race will also be one of remembrance of the tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombings. The Race start will be preceded by a Moment of Silence to honor the deceased and also to remember all of the innocent victims of this cowardly terrorist attack," said a letter from the Corrib Charitable Trust Board of Directors, on the coolrunning.com website.

"In addition, we will also celebrate our first responders and those representing law enforcement. We are honored to have Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis and Watertown Police Chief Ed Deveau as our Race Grand Marshalls. They will join Martin Bligh, Race Founder as the official starters of the 20th Anniversary Corrib Classic 5K Road Race," said the letter.

The race starts at Lagrange Street takes a right onto the VFW Parkway, a right onto Corey Street, a left onto Weld Street, a right onto Maple Street, a right onto Centre Street, a left onto Bellevue Street, a right onto Howitt Street, a right onto Lagrange again with a downhill finish at Billings Field. (See the attached map of the course.)

There is an awesome complimentary cookout with hamburgers and hotdogs, as well refreshments afterwards. There's also entertainment such as face-painting, pony rides, a bouncy house, and a DJ!

Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers in eight different age divisions.
