The event which begins at 9 a.m., at the Great Guernsey Trail located at 63500 Corduroy Road, will include a half marathon, a 10K, a 5k and a fun run.

Cambridge Main Street is working to raise funds to cover the installation costs of two electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the downtown area.
Cambridge Main Street, which advocates for downtown businesses, received a donation of two charging units from board member Levi Wade. It is currently conducting a fundraiser to help offset the installation cost.

It plans to contribute some funding to the installation, according to Mary Beth Sills, director of Cambridge Main Street.
