We are thrilled to announce the sixth annual DEF Dash 5K - A LIVE, IN-PERSON 5K RUN OR WALK! After 10 successful years' operating Bernie’s Run, the Dedham Education Foundation launched the first annual “DEF Dash 5K” from Barnes Memorial Park in October 2019. Hundreds of runners and family and friends gathered for a fun day of running/walking, followed by delicious food, drink, music, and award ceremonies. We will have prizes for the top runners in each age category!!! Come support the Dedham Education Foundation and our Dedham Public Schools and Students on Sunday, October 6th at Barnes Memorial Park. Race starts at 11am sharp!

Lace up your sneakers and join the fun!

You're invited to the Austin Reardon Memorial 5K Walk/Run (AR5k) – a joyful and meaningful event that brings the community together to honor the life and legacy of Austin Reardon, a proud graduate of Norwood High’s Class of 2019.

This annual race isn't just about miles – it’s about making a difference. Proceeds go to the Austin Reardon Foundation, which awards scholarships to graduating Norwood High seniors who reflect Austin’s generous heart and vibrant spirit.

The race kicks off and finishes at the Knights of Columbus on Nichols Street, winding through a scenic residential route close to the high school. Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, there's something for everyone — music, delicious food, raffles, and community vibes that Austin would have loved.

Run for Austin. Walk for Austin. Celebrate Austin.

Come out, have fun, and help us make a lasting impact in his name.
