Hosted by Friends of New Troy. Course design by Marlene Newmiller. Proceeds from the race support the New Troy Community Center. The New Troy Community Center is run by the community, for the community, and is supported entirely through memberships, donations, fundraisers, and rentals. It receives no government funding. Stop in and you might join a pickle ball game, take a yoga class, bring your preschooler to Story Hour, buy or borrow a book, search for treasures at a flea market, or visit an artist’s studio. Our grounds provide a popular sledding hill, playground, demonstration rain garden, nature trail and outdoor classroom. Wedding vows are exchanged in our gazebo. Milestone events are celebrated in our Community Room. How did all this come to be? In 2005 a group of residents took a giant leap of faith and organized the first fundraiser to buy the property formerly occupied by the New Troy School. The town’s sense of community had been lost when the school closed and we wanted it back. The support has been awesome. Our membership swelled as more and more people became committed to the vision and worked to make it happen. We’ve held many fundraisers and will hold many more. We’re proud to say that in 2018 we paid off the mortgage. Fundraising will go on, because improvements still need to be made, programs and classes still need to be developed, and the building and property still need to be maintained. Today, the center is alive with activity. Neighbors are meeting neighbors. Old friendships are being renewed and new friendships are being formed. If you haven’t joined us yet, come see what you’ve been missing.

Huge thanks to our three Gold Level sponsors! Please be sure to thank these fine folks who give so much to support our race and community center. Vickers Engineering and Nulty Insurance Agency have sponsored our race since its inception, 15 years ago. Breath & Ground is responsible for the increasingly fine artwork on our t-shirts, not to mention our organization's posters and fliers. And this year, we're thrilled to welcome Forge Electrical Services, new to our community, and already committed to it!
