Summary
Woburn council approved a special-event permit for the Shamrock Running Club to hold a 5K at Spence Farm on July 4, 2025, granting the requested waiver related to umbrella liability insurance after confirming the application and insurance binder were in order.
The Woburn City Council approved a special-event permit for the Shamrock Running Club to hold its annual 5K road race at Spence Farm on July 4, 2025, after the applicant confirmed the permit materials and insurance binder were in order.
Elizabeth Hastings, a member of the Shamrock Running Club, described the event as “our annual 5K road race…held at Spence Farm” and said it is “a great family event.”
The council chair said the “application’s in order” and that all appropriate licenses and the insurance binder were present. Council members then moved and voted to approve the permit; the chair called the vote, “All in favor? Aye. Motion passes.”
The permit file includes a petitioner request that the council consider a waiver related to umbrella liability insurance; the council voted to approve the permit after confirming the binder was on file. No public opposition or substantive debate about traffic, public safety, or road closures was recorded during the council discussion.
The granting of the permit completes the council’s action on the item; the chair thanked the applicant and closed the matter.
