Brian Honan 5K Road Race

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.

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!
