🏃 Run • 🚶 Walk • 🌿 Support Local Green Spaces

Held in Chelsea, Massachusetts, our 3rd annual road race invites participants to experience a scenic route that winds through the heart of the community, passing by cherished local landmarks. The Chelsea Road Race continues to serve as a meaningful platform to promote healthy living and empower community members to embrace running and movement as part of their everyday lives.

This year marks an exciting milestone as we proudly introduce, for the first time, wheelchair division for both female and male participants, further strengthening our commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and equal opportunity in sport. The race celebrates Chelsea’s rich and diverse cultural heritage while offering more than just a test of physical endurance, it is a celebration of community, resilience, and unity.

Designed for individuals of varying abilities and experience levels, the course welcomes seasoned runners, casual joggers, and adaptive athletes alike. To recognize and reward early participation, the first 500 registered participants will receive an official race T-shirt as part of their race-day experience. The fee for the first six (6) wheelchair registrations will be waived using promo code: CHELSEAUNITED2026.

See you at the starting line!

The Chelsea Road Race is proudly organized and managed by the City of Chelsea Department of Recreation & Cultural Affairs. This program is funded in part by the Chelsea Community Fund and a grant from the Chelsea Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
