Paddy's 5K

Who does the race benefit and who does it honor?

Our race benefits the young girls of Cambridge. The Cambridge Girls Softball League and other girls' sports teams are the primary recipients of the funds from the race. These great organizations work on team building, athletic skills, and strengthen the connection among physical, mental and social well-being of girls. We've raised over $130,000 for girls' sports in Cambridge!

Post-Race Block Party

After the race there will a block party outside Paddy's until 7PM. Walden Street will be closed off to traffic and there will be a large beer garden, food trucks, and a DJ.

Is the race sanctioned and timed?

The 5K is USA Track and Field sanctioned and timed by RaceWire.
