Our story
Four Friends. One Crew.
We've been talking about doing this for years. This November, we're actually doing it.
How It Started
The Local Crew started as a group chat. Four Hopkinton alumni. Logan, Cooper, Sam, and Jack, who grew up running the same roads, going to the same school, and showing up for the same community.
We spent a long time saying someone should organize a Turkey Trot in Hopkinton. Eventually we realized that someone was us. So we booked the permits, mapped the course, printed the bibs, and told everyone we knew.
This is our first year. We have no idea how many people will show up, but we're ready for all of them. Come run with us on November 21st.
