Starting and finishing at Medford City Hall, the 5-mile race and 2-mile walk are scenic tours through the heart of the city. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a weekend jogger, the course was created for all ability levels.


The race is the latest event created by Boston Marathon race director and Medford native Dave McGillivray! Dave's goal is to create a community-focused event that will have a significant positive impact on the City of Medford, its businesses, residents, non-profits, students, athletes and people in need for years to come.


Benefiting Friends of Medford Recreation

Medford Parks and Recreation Program supports 22 parks in the city as well as Wright's Pond and Hormel Stadium and Riverbend Park. Funds raised for the Friends of Medford Recreation will go through the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation and the foundation will then donate all funds to the Friend of Medford Recreation.
