If you were unable to run the Junior Woman’s Milton Road Race a couple weeks ago in a downpour — you have another chance. The MAD Scramble is a great race that is on road and off . . .it is this Thursday. You can register here. Registration closes today at 11:00pm. It is run in the memory of Michael Devin, a Milton detective who died in an accident. It is a good cause, a fun run. I’ll be there and hope you are too. And maybe it will rain.
