Come run our inaugural event in honor of Coach Frank Captain. An avid runner for years and a coach passionate about encouraging young people, Frank spent countless hours coaching track and cross country. He loved seeing his team work hard, improve and succeed even if it was just a small accomplishment. He taught his runners to believe in themselves and to have fun at a sport that challenged them. This Memorial Race celebrates his love of running and the legacy he leaves behind, in Chelsea, the town he called home. Come run our brick-paved streets in our beautiful town on historic Route 66 and stay for our 91st Annual Jamboree.
