    In loving memory of Judy George, a remarkable woman whose friendship touched countless lives, we proudly present this 5K run. Judy's fun spirit and kindness inspired everyone she met, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her.

    Before her passing in 2024, Judy had a vision to help organize a 5K event. Although we didn't have the chance to make it happen during her lifetime, we're honored to bring the race back for its second year.

    Online registration fees will go to the Hopkinton High School Alumni Association, and the day-of registration fees will be donated to Dana Farber.
