Organiser's Description

Get ready to lace up those running shoes because it's time for the 3rd annual MFoA 5k, 2nd annual 10k, and NEW THIS YEAR, we are adding in a 1-mile fun run!

When you register for our MFoA races, your fee doesn't just cover the run, it's also supporting the fundraising efforts of the festival and arts scholarships in our community!

We kick off the excitement for the 5k and 10k just past the Post Office on Smith St. 5k runners will dash down Atlantic Avenue to Seaview, then make a right onto Humphrey Street, ending at our finish line at Marblehead High School. As for our 10k challengers, you'll start at the Post Office too, but hang a left on Atlantic, take a scenic loop around the Neck, and finish strong at the High School. The 1-mile loop will be determined soon.
