New Life/ Soles of Medfield 5k/10K road race

New Life/ Soles of Medfield 5k/10K road race hits the road on May 11th 

The Soles of Medfield 10K and the New Life 5K Trail Run are uniting! The New Life/ Soles of Medfield 5k/10k and Kids Fun Run will take place on Saturday, May 11th on the Medfield State Hospital grounds. 

Against the backdrop of the iconic Medfield State Hospital, participants of all abilities – from seasoned runners to casual walkers – can enjoy a fun day out on routes that wind through the beautiful Charles River Reservation, the Rail Trail, and surrounding neighborhoods. Not a runner? No worries! Join us to soak in the vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by entertainment from Bellforge Arts Center. Whether you crave the challenge of a 10K race, a friendly 5K, or cheering from the sidelines, this event promises something special for everyone.

Registration is open at https://newlifefb.org/race/. Registration online and race day registration is $35 for the 5k and $45 for the 10k. On-site Kids Fun Run registration will be $5. On-site registration opens at 7:30 am on race day. Children ages 4-10 are invited to join us for the Kids Fun Run at 9:00 am, with the 5k and 10k starting at 9:30 am. Live music will follow the race. The sooner you register, the more likely it will be that you will receive a t-shirt on race day. 

“Last year, New Life served over 700 households, and the demand for our services is greater than ever,” said Rich Purnell, New Life Executive Director. “This event is a fun and effective way to help us empower the individuals and families we serve with the means to furnish their homes.” 

“Soles of Medfield is excited to collaborate with New Life to bring the New Life 5k Trail Run and the Soles 10k race together,” said Adam Graber of Soles of Medfield. “This is a community building event with an important purpose. Whether you are a runner, a walker, or just want to join the scene and enjoy some music, come be part of the fun.” 

The New Life/ Soles of Medfield 5k/10K benefits New Life Furniture Bank of MA and its mission to provide gently used household furnishings to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness. The Medfield-based non-profit organization operates a Walpole Donation Center and serves the MetroWest and Greater Boston area.
