About this race
Join us in Beverly, Massachusetts for the 5K & Walk for Barton, a meaningful community event held in memory of Rachel Thomas. This special day brings together families, friends, alumni, and supporters to honor Rachel’s life while supporting children living with type 1 diabetes through the life-changing programs of The Barton Center for Diabetes Education.
Participants can choose to run the 5K or take part in a family-friendly walk, making this event accessible for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or strolling in remembrance, every step helps ensure that children with type 1 diabetes can experience the joy, independence, and confidence that comes from attending a Barton Center camp.
Proceeds from the event directly support Barton’s summer camps, day programs, and year-round initiatives, providing kids and teens with expert medical care, diabetes education, and unforgettable camp experiences—at little to no cost to families.
Come run, walk, remember, and make an impact. Together, we can honor Rachel’s legacy while helping create brighter, healthier futures for children with diabetes.
