❤️💙 A Heartfelt Thank You to the Duxbury Police & Fire Departments 🚓🚒

The Duxbury Education Foundation July 4th Road Race simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of the Duxbury Police Department and Duxbury Fire Department.

From ensuring a safe race course to managing traffic, responding to emergencies, and helping thousands of runners, walkers, volunteers, and spectators enjoy the morning safely, your professionalism and dedication make this cherished community tradition possible.

Thank you for your partnership, your service, and your commitment to keeping our community safe—not just on race day, but every day.

We are truly grateful for everything you do. ❤️💙🇺🇸

This race is about so much more than crossing the finish line. ❤️💙

Every step taken, every volunteer who gave their time, every sponsor who stepped up, and every person who came out to cheer helped make a real difference for our community.

Thanks to your support, the funds raised through this event help the Duxbury Education Foundation provide grants that bring new opportunities and experiences to our students and teachers—creating an impact that extends far beyond race day.

As you watch this highlight reel, we hope you see what makes this event so special: neighbors supporting neighbors, families making memories, and a community coming together for a cause that benefits generations of students.

Thank you for being part of it. We can’t wait to do it again next year! 🇺🇸🏃❤️💙
