Canton Road Race Goes Orange And Black For Fallen Stoughton Teens

CANTON, MA — This year's Canton Fall Classic will be an orange and black event.

The 30th annual 5K/10K road race in Canton will take place in memory of Christopher Desir, Eric Sarblah, Nick Joyce, and David Bell - the four Stoughton teens who lost their lives in a tragic crash in May. A portion of the proceed will be donated to the Stoughton High School track team as well.

"There has been a strong connection between the Stoughton team and the Canton Fall classic for almost 20 years. Race director Harvey Blonder coached cross country and track for 14 years at Stoughton High and literally 100’s of Stoughton team members have served in various support roles on race day. This year, to honor the memory of the four students and the community at large we have borrowed the Stoughton colors," a statement on the race's website reads.

This year's race is set for Oct. 28 with a senior fun walk at 9 a.m., a fun run at 9:45, and the 5K/10 at 10 a.m. Both main races will go off at the same time in front of B'nai Tikvah
