The Sudbury Road Race event includes a 5-kilometer race (walkers welcome) and a 1-mile fun run (all ages welcome). Both races begin and end at Ephraim Curtis Middle School, 22 Pratts Mill Rd. Sudbury, Massachusetts. The fun run begins at 10am, with the 5k beginning at 10:30am.
This event is a fundraiser for the Sudbury Historical Society History Center and Museum. Opening in July 2021, The Sudbury Historical Society has finished its most ambitious project. The creation of the Sudbury History Center and Museum in the town-owned c1730 Loring Parsonage in Sudbury’s Town Center has been a long time coming. The project has revitalized a historic town asset. It allows the SHS to safely store and exhibit the SHS’s collections, accommodate growing membership and volunteer corps, facilitate scholarly research, and provide a fully accessible historical resource for Sudbury’s residents and tourists.
The nonprofit SHS is an active membership-based organization dedicated to collecting and preserving Sudbury’s historical records, promoting the study of local history, and connecting people to Sudbury’s traditions through educational programming and community engagement. With a vibrant History Center, we can now achieve our mission more easily. Our vision for the town-owned Loring Parsonage was to create an inclusive, active, multifunctional facility for all ages. We are so pleased to have had the opportunity to build something outstanding for Sudbury.
