The August Napper Tandy's Flyer Returns to Norwood

After a five-year hiatus, the organizers are proud and excited to bring back one of the most popular and celebrated races in Norwood.

After a five year hiatus, the Napper Tandy’s Flyer will once again take to the streets of Norwood, made possible with a partnership between Charles River Running, Winged Foot Running and Napper Tandy’s Norwood.  

The racecourse will be the same 4-mile course that was in place from 2002 to 2008 originally, and the three business are very excited to bring this back.

 "Our hope is to bring everyone out on a August evening for some exercise, food, drink and camaraderie," Charles River Running owner, Charlotte Walsh said.

The race will start on Thursday, August 22, at 7 p.m.
