Westborough Student Council is hosting a Glow Run! PLEASE READ

This 5k event is a fundraiser for PALS Programs, an organization dedicated to helping people with Down Syndrome.

The race consists of a 5k loop around Lake Chauncy on the night of Saturday, May 16, 2026.

The race will start before sunset so there is still light out to see your path, however, after we will have yard games and festivities with glowing objects until around 8:30.
