The Dudley Pond Run/Walk Draws Participants from All Over

More than 200 participants run and walk to support the Dudley Pond Association.

On Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, Wayland's Mansion Beach erupted in activity as more than 200 people came out to participate in the 15th annual Dudley Pond Fun Run/Walk.

Most participants hailed from Wayland but runners and walkers from Framingham, Malden, Natick and more showed up to take to the course around Dudley Pond.

The event benefitted the Dudley Pond Association who will use raised funds toward the preservation of the quality of Dudley Pond and to fight invasive pond weeds.
