    The second annual Patrick Cumming Memorial St. Patrick's Day 5K will be held on Sunday, March 15th at 10am at Krashes Field in Princeton, MA in partnership with the Princeton Firefighter's Association.

    This race is being held to support the Patrick Cumming Memorial EMS Scholarship Fund and to remember an amazing son, brother, firefighter, soldier and friend. The race will be held rain or shine-and we know that March weather in New England can be tricky! Please join us to honor Patrick's legacy and support our local community.

    Professional race timing, race shirts to the first 250 registrants, food and beverage trucks and music will all be provided. Medals awarded to top three male and female and top male and female youth (under 18) finishers. USATF sanctioned course.

    We look forward to seeing you there and are grateful for your support!
