A Message From Mayor Cohen and the Newton Civic Pride Committee

The Newton Civic Pride Committee has sponsored the Heartbreak Hill International Youth Race since its inception 16 years ago. The City of Newton is committed to continuing an event that promotes a healthy lifestyle in a community atmosphere that brings everyone together to run, cheer and just have a good time. It is apropos that this race be dedicated to Johnny Kelley who was the ultimate runner.   David B. Cohen Mayor

This year's 16th Newton Heartbreak Hill International Youth Race is dedicated to Johnny Kelley. Known as Mr. Marathon, he was present at the unveiling of the now famous Johnny Kelley "Young at Heart" statue which is located at the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Walnut Street. He also hosted our first race and stated that as the song says, "Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, if you're young at heart." He is an inspiration to all of us and we take great pleasure in honoring him in this way.   Ruth Barnett President, Newton Civic Pride Committee
