Each year the
UniBank Greenway Challenge course is changed, for several reasons. First, we want to give racers a new challenge each year. Second, we want to show you more of what the Blackstone Valley has to offer. Finally, we believe it is simply more fun to do a new course each year than
repeating the same course over and over.

The 2009
UniBank Greenway Challenge course covers
47.4 miles and include seven transitions which will be
announced two weeks before the race, giving athletes two
weekends to practice the actual course.

your competition is?
Start Line:
Waters Farm, Sutton, MA - Waters Farm has been an important
partner for Greenway Challenge over the years and the
charitable recipient for 2007. The runners who ran the last
leg to Waters Farm in 2007 may have felt it to be a mini
'heartbreak hill' but also must agree it provided a
beautiful setting for the 2007 Finish Line.
Registration and Final Check-in is 7:30a.m. Race starts at
9:00a.m.
