The 8th Annual Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day 4.2-mile Road Race to benefit the Brian Higgins Foundation was held on Sunday, September 25. The event was hosted by The Pub, Ball Square, Somerville.

Approximately  150 people competed in the race. The money collected at this event is used entirely for the kids and their families. There are no hidden administrative costs, or payrolls to be met. Every single penny goes to the kids.

First place finishers in this year’s race are (Men’s) Johnny Miller of Somerville, and (Women’s) Haley D’Arcangelo of Metheun.
