After much deliberation, the Committee for the Canal Diggers 5K has made the decision to go virtual for our 2020 race.
We feel that this is the most responsible decision at this time with the uncertainty of the Covid-19 phases.
We are a Fallon Canal Diggers 5K Health and Wellness event. We are encouraging participants to run a 5k, walk a 5k, do something you love for 30 minutes, hike, dance, skateboard, bounce on a trampoline, the skies the limit!
We value all our supporters over the past years, giving back to the community. We hope you will continue to support this event as it is our 14 year giving back to the city of Worcester and the Canal District.
We will purchase $2,500.00 worth of gift certificates from the Canal Business’ & those on the race route who have sponsored in the past, a big THANK YOU. These will be our prizes for all our fun categories.
Check out our prize categories below!
We are giving a discount price for the event to all healthcare workers, those that were essential workers and first responders again a huge THANK YOU during the pandemic. Use "ThankYou" when you sign up.
We are keeping the price of the event to $25.00 all summer!
