From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find fun run events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
The Jaime Pinaire 5K Race & Fun Run is a community event held in memory of Jaime Pinaire—an athlete, educator, and Chatham High School graduate.
Proceeds from the race benefit the James A. Pinaire III Foundation, which provides scholarship support to students with financial need, including graduates of Chatham High School and Robert Treat Academy. Participants can run, walk, or join virtually while supporting educational opportunity and honoring Jaime’s legacy.
This event is open to everyone—from experienced runners to first‑time participants. Runners, walkers, families, students, neighbors, and community members are all welcome. Whether you’re racing for a personal best, walking with friends, or simply coming out to support a meaningful local tradition, there’s a place for you at this event. Dogs and running strollers are welcome.
Participants may choose from in‑person and virtual options, including the 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles) and the 1 Mile Fun Run. The 5K race is professionally timed by Compuscore, with results available online shortly after the race. You can upload your photos of the event to the race website - easy instructions are here.
