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!
Age Discount Pricing:
Ages 12 and younger: the 10K Race & Jerry's Run for all Ages = $35 + processing fee
Ages 80 plus will receive a free entry
Beneficiaries:
Run for a cause! Run Medford celebrates ALL runners while giving back to the community! A portion of every race registration will be donated back to the school communities in Medford through the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation.
Join us Saturday, September 26, 2026 for our 15th Annual Voices Against Violence 5k walk/run! Packet pick-up and day-of registration starts at 7 am. We will kick off the event together at 7:30 AM with words from local leaders devoted to ending sexual and domestic violence. The race starts at 8 am sharp, followed by medals and raffle drawing at 9:00. The race will have chip timing and results will be available after the race on racewire.com.
Our largest fundraiser of the year, the Voices Against Violence 5k raises the necessary funds to support survivors in the MetroWest community with free, confidential services. Please consider sharing your personal fundraising page or your team's fundraising page with your family, friends and colleagues. With your help, we can provide survivors and their loved ones with the support and services they need.
Sponsoring the Voices Against Violence 5K Run/Walk is a GREAT way to support a critically important cause in your community, while raising awareness of your organization. Contact [email protected] for more information about sponsorship opportunities or to contribute a raffle prize.

About Colin's Joy Project:
Colin McGrath was killed in 2018 after being struck by a car on his way home from a wonderful day in the park. His life was full of love, laughter, curiosity. Colin lived every minute of his life to the fullest. His laughing eyes, beautiful curls, hilarious voice, and sense of adventure will never be forgotten. His smile made everyone's heart happy.
Since Colin's death, the McGrath family started a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called Colin's Joy Project. The mission of Colin's Joy Project is to enhance play spaces and sponsor children and family programming in the South Boston and surrounding communities.
Colin's Joy Project has several active play space projects in development in South Boston inspired by Colin's Creativity Squad, an initiative that engages children in the community to design their own exciting, creative play spaces. Colin's Joy Project has also formed multiple community partnerships to which they have donated over $1.5M in the last 7 years! Through these partnerships, Colin's Joy Project fulfills their mission to bring joy to families the way Colin brought joy to all who knew him.
A donation to Team Colin will support these long-lasting partnerships and future projects. Learn more about our work on our website www.colinsjoyproject.org, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@colinsjoyproject) for updates!

Silver Heist Walk/Run 5K
A historic town, a daring heist, and a race for silver—lace up and step into the Silver Heist Walk/Run 5K! Orwell, Vermont, was chartered in 1763 and has a rich history filled with resilience and community spirit. Among its earliest settlers was Deacon Ebenezer (Eber) Murray, who arrived in 1783. Known as the only man in town with a clock, Eber would blow a conch shell at 9 p.m. every evening to signal the time for evening prayers. In tribute to this tradition, the Silver Heist Walk/Run 5K will begin with the blast of a conch shell.
Our town is no stranger to bandit heists. In October 1862, just before the town fair, outlaws swept through Orwell, robbing several homes. Among those affected was Marcellus Royce, who lost $30 in silver to the thieves. The following year, in 1863, the First National Bank of Orwell was chartered, making it the oldest national bank in New England.Over its 162 years of dedicated service, the local Young family has managed it including the 5th generation and current bank manager, Bryan Young.
In this semisquicentennial of our nation's founding, we remember the Revolutionary War and the efforts of our founders to separate from King George III's oppresive rule with a wooden token "R" for participants. The fort at Mount Independence is located within the Town of Orwell. The Great Bridge, completed in 1777, crossed Lake Champlain and connected Mount Independence and Fort Ticonderoga. Built to move Revolutionary troops and supplies between Vermont and New York, it also discouraged British naval attacks to the south of the Fort. Of its 22 piers, the Orwell Historical Museum preserves a 9” section of one pier, found by Addison Kimball and donated by Orwell entrepreneur Fritz E. Lillie. Please stop in to our museum after the race to learn about our local participation in our nation's inception.
The wooden tokens collected from each year's race for the first six years will spell ORWELL.
The overall men's, women's, young man's and young women's winners will claim a custom award representing the $30 stolen from Marcellus Royce in 1862! Age division male and female winners will receive ribbons. Age groups are: 13+under, 14-16, 17-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, 85-89, 90-94, 95+up.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or prefer a leisurely walk, the Silver Heist Walk/Run 5K welcomes participants of all paces. Step into history, embrace the thrill of the chase, and race through history on a dash for silver!
All in-person participants will take home a custom Silver Heist Walk/Run 5K T-shirt and the wooden token. Don’t miss these exclusive race-day rewards!
Little Bandits Bolt
For the youngest racers, the Little Bandits Bolt offers a pint-sized thrill! Kids will dash across the soccer field at Orwell Village School (OVS), sharing in the spirit of the Silver Heist as they race their way into local history. Every participant will receive a custom Silver Heist Walk/Run 5K T-shirt and a finisher’s token at the finish line—a special memento of the event’s historic theme.
