“Mill Cities” Relay Road Race

http://millcitiesrelay.com/

Mill Cities is one of the oldest relays in the nation.  It is a running tradition in the Merrimack Valley that is operated by the Mill Cities Alliance.  The Mill Cities Alliance consists of invited Massachusetts and New Hampshire running clubs.

The relay is comprised of five legs along a 27-mile course.  The course starts in Nashua, NH, follows the mighty Merrimack river through seven towns and finishes with a huge post race celebration in Lawrence, MA.  There are typically 280 mixed and gender aged based teams.
