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.

Jog Your Memory 5K, Inc. was founded in 2014 by Jess Rice and her husband Bob. Since then, the Jog Your Memory Board has grown to eight, dedicated members, who are all-in to help fight Alzheimer's. The non-profit hosts a 5K race and walk every year out of Needham in an effort to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's research and caregiver reprieve. To date, they have raised over $2.35 million; for the past twelve years, 80% has gone to research, and 20% has been set aside for a Caregiver Grant - a reserve used for those caring for loved ones who might need a little extra incentive to get the help they need.
The 2026 5K run and 1.5-Mile walk for Alzheimer's will offer flexible options. Our 13th Annual race will be held in-person in Needham on Sunday, October 18th and a virtual option will be available for those who are unable to make our in-person event.
