We’ve already begun planning for this signature event in PRF's home town of Peabody, Massachusetts. Start training for the 5K run, or take it a bit easier with the 2-mile fun run/walk with the family. This is a terrific time that everyone enjoys – with lots of healthy (and not so healthy!) food, drinks and t-shirts for all, and awards for top finishers and all kids.

Entry fees:   $15 runners (start time 9 am)
                     $10 walkers (start time 9:05 am)
 
Other support opportunities: Be a corporate or individual sponsor! Levels are $100 and $250. We also welcome donations of any amount – it all adds up!
 
Directions:   Route 1 to Lowell Street exit, right onto Lowell Street for 3.4 miles.
 
Timing/Route details: Computerized timing for runners provided by NorthShore Striders. Route is clearly marked with signs, balloons and volunteers or police at intersections.
