Murphy Insurance Proudly Sponsors the Groton Road Race
At Murphy Insurance Agency, we believe strong communities are built through shared experiences, local traditions, and supporting events that bring people together.

Participants can choose from a 5K, 10K, or Fun Run, all set against the scenic backdrop of Groton’s beautiful rural roads. The race begins and ends at the Groton Hill Music Center, creating a vibrant, community-focused atmosphere for runners and spectators alike.
