Canton Fall Classic

Canton Fall Classic is held in Sudbury on October 25, 2026, with four options. The 10K and the 5K both start at 8:30 a.m., and two 1-mile events go off first at 8:00 a.m.: a kids' fun run and a senior walk. Everything is on the road, and the early schedule means the whole program is finished inside a couple of hours.

Having the 10K and the 5K start together is convenient for households running different distances, but it is awkward if you plan to race hard, since the opening half mile will be shared by people on two very different plans. Settle into your own pace rather than chasing whoever comes past. For the 10K, six to eight weeks with one weekly tempo run covers it well.
