Run Medford 2026

RUN MEDFORD

On December 5, 2026, we’re coming together to celebrate running. Medford is where it all started for Dave McGillivray, and after more than 40 years of running adventures, he wants to show his appreciation the best way he knows how: by organizing a road race with the explicit purpose of raising funds that would directly benefit his hometown.

Race Details

• Date: December 5, 2026
• Location: 85 George P Hassett Dr, Medford, MA
• Race Type: 5K
• Named After: Jerry Panarese

Jerry Panarese Legacy

The 5K race is named after Jerry Panarese, who was a member of the New England 65+ Runners Club. Jerry was the director of the Run of All Ages which was held in Wakefield, MA for 25 years. The race was going to end, so we decided to include it in our Run Medford event to keep Jerry's spirit alive and going.

Age Discount Pricing

• Ages 12 and younger: the 10K Race & Jerry's Run for all Ages = $35 + processing fee
• Ages 80 plus: will receive a free entry

Beneficiaries

Run for a cause! Run Medford celebrates ALL runners while giving back to the community! A portion of every race registration will be donated back to the school communities in Medford through the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation.
