The Hoosick Lions Club 29th Annual Road Race

by Bea Peterson

The Town of Hoosick Lions Club held its 29th Annual 5k Road Race on Saturday, May 17. The weather was perfect for running, pleasantly cool with plenty of sunshine and blue sky. The route was the same one the race has taken for many years, starting on Munsell Street to Abbott to Classic to Main Street for quite a distance, then back down Main to the finish line.
