On-site registration will be $30 for the race including a shirt on a first come first served basis.  Registration will begin at 7:30am at Blair Square on race day for $30 for the 5K/10K and $5 for the fun run. Sign up to run or walk the Holliston Rail Trail with friends and other enthusiasts of the Holliston Rail Trail.

The race is sponsored by Griffin Electric Company of Holliston and the Boston Honey Company of Holliston.  This is the first year that the Holliston Trail Race will include the longer 10 kilometer distance, giving runners more time to enjoy the beautiful trail.  The 10K and 5K races are sanctioned by the USA Track & Field organization and will be professionally timed by Second Wind Timing.  Holliston Auxiliary Police will be providing a safe crossing at Summer Street.  Volunteers will be stationed at Cross Street, Chestnut Street and Monroe Drive.

This annual race supports the daily use and annual development projects along the Holliston Rail Trail, including improved access, reinforcement of slopes, flooding abatement projects, parking projects, picnic tables, exercise stations, bike repair stations and dog waste stations.
