👇 Register with link below! As word spread, and the running boom grew, so did the Yankee Homecoming event. A shorter race was eventually added (the distance alternating between 3 miles and 5K over the years). In the mid-1990's the event hit its peak when over 2200 runners finished the Ten Miler and close to 1000 participants ran the shorter event. Such is the history and tradition, the lore, and the lure of the Yankee Homecoming Races. The 2023 Yankee Homecoming 10M and 5K will once again live up to its billing as a classic New England event.
