The entry fees are $25 for the 5-mile run and $20 for the 3-mile walk, and the first 100 entrants receive Bostrom Farm mums. Online registration closes on Sept. 14. Race-day entry fees are $30 for the 5-mile run and $25 for the walk.

Donations also are encouraged. In Don’s memory, proceeds go to the Don Maynard Scholarship Fund, which awards scholarships to graduating Franklin County public school seniors.

The race is endorsed by the New England 65-Plus Runners Club and will have 5-year age groups starting with 65-69.

The 5-mile course is a flat and scenic route through the Greenfield Meadows. The course begins by the Green River on Nash's Mill Road in Greenfield and continues through the “meadows”, then loops around toward Greenfield Community College. The course finishes with the last mile on the new Greenfield bike path, again along the Green River.

Walkers will walk a 3-mile loop of the bike path.

Be sure to take a dip in the river to cool off afterward!
