With a 10:00 a.m. start on Saturday, May 14, 2022 from Norwood High School, this race runs over the town line into Westwood on Oak, Pond, Clapboardtree and Winter streets before returning to Norwood and finishing where it started.
All net proceeds will be donated to Run for a Vet, an organization that aids local vets and families. Past assistance has taken the form of donations to veterans' families for auto repairs, temporary housing for a military widow, job placement for an unemployed veteran and coverage of a veteran's funeral costs.
This year's event honors First Lieutenant Richard Hillberg, retired from the U.S. Army. The lieutenant served in Vietnam and is a Silver Star and Bronze Star recipient.
The race also honors the memory of U.S. Army veteran Frederick Maguire, a member of 182 Sapper Company who served in Iraq.

Senator Rush is correct re: the ambulatory services. One only has to drive on RTE 109/Westwood to see the number of out of town ambulances going through town at all times of the day. Then they have to get to Boston or Needham.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
What is the citizen's petition about? I checked the town website, and the only information I could find on town meeting articles was from last year. The public hearing dates for 2026 are posted as February 24-25.
Apparently, you need to submit a public records request through the town's FOIA portal. What a shame, since it should have been posted to the town website upon certification of petition signatures.
Westwood Minute has obtained a copy of the petition and has added a short description of it to the article. A copy of the petition is attached below the article.
