The Friends of the Ashby Playground are excited to announce the second annual Friends of the Ashby Playground Family Fun 5k. The purpose of this event is to raise funds to improve and update the Ashby Playground located at Allen Field in Ashby, MA. Our long-term goal is to add on or replace the existing play structure with something more modern and targeted to a large age/ability range as the current equipment is dated and geared to older kids. The race will begin and end at Allen Field following an out and back course on lightly-traffic roads through Ashby, MA. The Friends of the Ashby playground is a subdivision of Townsend Ashby Youth Baseball and Softball, a local non-profit organization.

Race registration will open January 17, 2023 with an early bird special of $20. The regular registration period for $25, will be April 1, 2023 through June 8, 2023. A special family registration for up to 4 members is $40 during early bird sign ups and $45 after April 1, 2023. You will be able to register on-site up until 30 minutes before the beginning of the race ($30). The first 30 registrants will also receive a race shirt (*family pricing not eligible for free race shirt). Race shirts will also be available for purchase.
