Very important announcement!! The headquarters for the 30th Annual MMC has been moved from the Monson Memorial Town Hall to the Monson Universalist Unitarian Church, which is across the street and next to the gazebo. The UU church is also a beautiful granite building.
Another important change is that we're starting the 1/2 marathon at 11am and the 5K at 11:15.

Memorial Day is a special day to remember those who served our country.
The Monson Memorial Classic is held in loving memory of Kelly Waldron and Kathy Waldron Perry, 2 Monson sisters who lost their battle with cancer, just 8 months apart from each other. All proceeds go to Griffin's Friends, who are a group that supports children and their families who are undergoing cancer treatment at Baystate Medical Center.

Have you signed up for either the 5K or the 1/2 marathon yet?!

The Monson Memorial Classic Half Marathon & 5K is on Sunday November 8, 2026. It includes the following events: Monson Memorial Classic Half Marathon and Monson Memorial Classic 5K.
