RUN MEDFORD

On September 25^th and 26^th, 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.

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.

Bring your family and join us for our Kids Fun Run on Friday September 25^th at the Dave McGillivray Track at Hormel Stadium.

The kids' races are age-dependent distances: 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, 3/4 mile and 1 mile.

EARLY BIRD OPENING SPECIAL! We are offering a discounted fee of $35.00 + processing fee for the first 150 runners!

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.

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.
