🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Get ready to lace up those running shoes because it's time for the 3rd annual MFoA 5k, 2nd annual 10k, and NEW THIS YEAR, we are adding in a 1-mile fun run!

🎟️ Supporting a Cause

When you register for our MFoA races, your fee doesn't just cover the run, it also supports the fundraising efforts of the festival and arts scholarships in our community!

📅 Race Day Schedule

• Date: Saturday, July 5th
• 1-mile fun run: 7:30 am sharp
• 10k start: 7:45 am
• 5k start: 8:05 am

We kick off the excitement for the 5k and 10k just past the Post Office on Smith St. 5k runners will dash down Atlantic Avenue to Seaview, then make a right onto Humphrey Street, ending at our finish line at Marblehead High School. As for our 10k challengers, you'll start at the Post Office too, but hang a left on Atlantic, take a scenic loop around the Neck, and finish strong at the High School. The 1-mile loop will be determined soon.
