On Sunday, November 6th, the 27th Annual GenesisHR Battlegreen Run will be held in Lexington, starting and finishing at the LHS Field House. At noon, Todd Angilly, soloist for the Boston Bruins begins the event with the National Anthem and musket fire from the Lexington Minutemen send the runners on their way.

Registrations are at an all-time high but there is plenty of room for more!  See www.battlegreenrunfoundation.org for more details.
