The Ludlow Clocktower Classic 5k

The Ludlow Clocktower Classic 5k takes place in Ludlow, Massachusetts, on October 24, 2026, with the 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 11 a.m. The Red Bridge Running Club organizes the race in support of the Ludlow Boys and Girls Club, and the route runs through the town's historic streets past the Ludlow Mills, the Riverwalk and the Clocktower itself.

Start and finish are at Sole Syndicate Brewing inside the Mills, and the post-race party is held in the same place, so there is no shuttle to worry about afterwards. An 11 a.m. start is late enough that you can eat properly beforehand, though it also means a longer wait if you like getting up early. Proceeds help the Boys and Girls Club continue offering a safe, positive space for young people in the area.
