The 27th annual Dudley Pond Run held on a sunny October 5 was a smashing success, with more than 180 participants, a big increase over last year.

Rodrigo Gonzaga of Framingham took the laurels among male runners while Lauren Casey of Wayland outpaced the women. Henry Stimpson of Wayland won the walking race. Thanks to all of many community businesses that generously sponsored the race and our hardworking DPA volunteers! VIEW RESULTS HERE: THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
