Registration is now open for the West Island 5K Race and this is one race you definitely do not want to miss out on! Join The Running Griffin on April 28th in Fairhaven, Massachusetts for this race that takes runners through the scenic West Island part of Fairhaven.

The race is billed as being a mostly flat race but starts off with a good downhill sprint and ends with an uphill finish. Be sure to keep plenty of energy in your legs as you head into the final stretch so you can kick it into the finish line and get up that hill.

Proceeds from this road race go to the Fairhaven High School Cross Country program and the Crispin Demers Memorial Scholarship Fund. Crispin Demers was a Fairhaven High School alum and former cross country coach who recently lost a long battle with cancer and the scholarship was formed in his memory.
