Get ready for an exciting day of running and community spirit at the Irish American 5 & 10k Road Race on Monday, September 1st, 2025, in Malden, Middlesex! This Labor Day tradition invites runners of all ages to take part in two exhilarating races—a 5K and a 10K—set on a mostly flat course that winds through the scenic Edgeworth neighborhood, alongside the Malden-Medford border. Participants will enjoy a well-marked route, complete with enthusiastic volunteers and police escorts ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

This year, the event not only promises a fun day of fitness but also supports a great cause, as proceeds will benefit the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. With medals awarded to the top finishers in various age categories, there's plenty of competition and camaraderie to be had! Registration begins at 8:30 AM at the IA Club, and for just $40, runners will receive a T-shirt along with access to music, entertainment, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-time participant, come join us to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and celebrate a day filled with running and cheer!
