Hill Thrill 5k or 10 Mile Road Race (Michelle Benedetti Scholarship Fund)

Event Overview

After a wildly successful 4 years, the 5th Annual Michelle Benedetti Memorial Scholarship Fund proudly announces the Hill Thrill Road Race on March 29, 2026. Our afterparty at Maria's on Essex St will also return. In 2025 we had over 400 registrations and will be shooting to beat it! We will once again be giving out great t-shirts and Ashworth Awards race medallion for all participants. Gun time 10am! Same day registrations close at 9:30am

Purpose

All of the proceeds support four yearly scholarships awarded to students at Haverhill High school. Michelle Benedetti worked in social services for more than two decades, a majority of which was spent advocating for children in Haverhill and surrounding towns. Michelle was also an avid runner who enjoyed running many races with family and friends. On May 30th 2019, far too soon, Michelle lost a courageous battle with metastatic breast cancer. This event honors her love of running and her advocacy for children.
