Medford, Massachusetts | Saturday, September 28, 2024 | 5-mile, 5K, 2-mile Friday, September 27, 2024 | Track Festival

Starting and finishing at Medford City Hall, the 5-mile, 5K race, and 2-mile walk are scenic tours through the heart of the city.

Whether you are a seasoned runner or a weekend jogger, the course was created for all ability levels.

In addition, there will be a track festival on Friday night featuring kids fun runs, the Mayor's Celebrity Mile, a parathlete mile and high school miles.

The 5K race is returning by popular demand!

Jerry's Run for All Ages 5K race is named after Jerry Panarese who was a member of the New England 65+ Runners Club and who became the director of the Run of All Ages which was held in Wakefield, MA for 25 years.

The race will keep Jerry's spirit and race alive through our Run Medford event.

The race is the latest event created by legendary race director and Medford native Dave McGillivray!

Dave's goal is to create a community-focused event that will have a significant positive impact on the City of Medford, its businesses, residents, non-profits, students, athletes and people in need for years to come.

Benefiting Local Students
This year, the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation will donate funds raised by the event to causes benefiting local students in Medford schools!
