The Commons in Lincoln Residents Place in Scarecrow Classic 5K
Residents of The Commons in Lincoln, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Lincoln, Mass., hit the pavement Sunday, October 19th, for the annual Scarecrow Classic 5K to benefit the Lincoln Land Trust. Three residents proudly placed in the 80-99 age group, including Steve Strickler, who placed 2nd in the male category, Judi Foster placed 2nd and Jan Regan placed 3rd in the female category.
Celebrating 13 Years of Community Support
The community and its residents have supported the race in some capacity since its inception 13 years ago, even during the pandemic years when residents walked their own course on campus instead of joining a large crowd. Since rejoining their neighbors at the starting line in Lincoln Station last year, excitement has been growing.
“The energy at the race in town is different than our own because it’s a major community event. Its bright and early in the morning, a vibrant environment and everyone is excited to race,” says The Commons in Lincoln Fitness Specialist Jason Williams. He led the group of residents during the race, motivating them with the same energy and encouragement he brings to all of his fitness programming, classes, and activities at The Commons.
The Scarecrow Classic has become a cherished tradition for residents who participate in some form or another each year. The Commons’ support and participation in the event highlights its dedication to both fostering community and understanding the crucial role that physical well-being plays in the lives of residents.
Proud Sponsors of a Beloved Lincoln Tradition
The Commons in Lincoln was once again a Lead Sponsor of the Scarecrow Classic 5K, which operates to benefit the Lincoln Land Conservation Trust’s 2,500 acres of land and public trails. The Commons’ proximity to conservation land and forests is a point of pride for residents, who are frequently found enjoying the area’s natural resources.
