The 2025 Granby Road Race on May 3 drew 334 runners and countless supporters for a spirited morning that celebrated fitness, community and giving back. Organized by the Farmington Valley YMCA and a dedicated team of volunteers, this beloved event continues to grow in impact and tradition, supporting the YMCA’s Annual Campaign to ensure that everyone has access to vital programs and services regardless of financial circumstance.
With ideal spring weather and scenic routes through Granby’s countryside, the race offered both 5K and 10K courses that welcomed runners of all ages and abilities.
Top finishers in the 5K division include Andrew Dalton (Simsbury), and Kelly Giannuzzi (Granby), and for the 10K division, Sam Hollworth (Vernon) and Jessie Pratt (Westfield) took the top honors. This year also featured a fun and energetic 1-Mile Kids Run, which brought families together and inspired the next generation of runners. The children’s race was a highlight of the morning, with cheers from parents and high-fives at the finish line.
New for 2025 was the “Together We Run” School Participation Trophy, awarded to the school with the highest number of student runners. Congratulations to Wells Road School, which took home the inaugural trophy thanks to its enthusiastic and spirited turnout.
From competitive athletes to families just out to enjoy the day, the Granby Road Race continues to exemplify the strength and unity of the local community. The Farmington Valley YMCA extends heartfelt thanks to all participants, sponsors and volunteers who made the day a success—and helped raise funds to support youth development, healthy living and social responsibility across the Farmington Valley.
