Course & Travel Notes
Westwood Day 2026 kicks off bright and early at 9:15 AM on September 19th, so you'll want to arrive with plenty of time before sunrise at 6:29 AM. The good news is that Norwood Memorial Airport is just 3.2 miles away, making it super convenient to fly in for the race. Pack layers since mid-September in Massachusetts typically sees highs around 77°F and lows near 52°F, and there's about a one-in-three chance of rain that day, so bring a light jacket just in case. The 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run both take place at the venue in Westwood at a modest elevation of 213 feet, so you won't need to worry too much about altitude adjustments.
