Running Of The Leprechauns

* March | 8:00 AM | Sunday | This race may have been cancelled

5k race, medford 5k races

This Medford 5K race has been cancelled the past few years. COVID may have knocked this race out for good.

The Running of The Leprechauns moved back to the American Legion Hall on Winthrop Street in Medford a few years ago.

This location provides plenty of room for people to stay warm and gather after the race.

This Medford 5K race has raised over $115,000 for Boston Childrenโ€™s Hospital.  

Tufts University Graduate Student Council 5K

* April | 9:00 AM | This race may have been cancelled

Tufts GSK 5K, Tufts University

The Tufts University Graduate Student Council cancelled this Medford 5K race in 2020 and it looks like it was never re-established.

If you have any information regarding this race please contact me.

In the past, registration was only $20, so you can’t beat the price. 

All proceeds benefit Medford, Somerville and Dorchester organizations. The event is sponsored by the Graduate Student Council of Tufts University as part of their effort to support the local community. 

This race starts at Eaton Hall and takes place entirely on the Tufts University campus. This helps keep expenses down and provides a challenging course for runners.

Kiwanis SUPER HERO 5K

* June | 9:00 AM | Saturday | This race may have been cancelled

Medford 5K race, Medford Kiwanis Super Hero 5K

The Kiwanis SUPER HERO 5K was a new race for Medford in 2019 but was then cancelled due to COVID-19. So far it has not made a come back.

The race took place at Mystic River Bend Park behind McGlynn Elementary School.

The race route laps the Mystic River and is almost entirely on sidewalk or paths. This makes it a great race to bring the kids to.

Registration was $22.34 for 18+ and $17.02 for youth  6 -17 

Summer Run Fest 5K and 10K

? July | 9:00 AM | Saturday – see you in 2024!

Medford 5K race, boston road runners

A fun Summer race to bring the community together. The racecourse follows the scenic path of Mystic River Reservation.

The race website doesn’t mention the specific location.

The Mystic River State Reservation is on Rt 16/Revere Beach Parkway in Medford. The only way to get into the parking lot is heading east on Rt 16 as this is a divided parkway.

This is near the State Police barracks at Wellington Circle.

2024 registration has not opened

I actually ran the 5K this year. I’m coming back from an injury and am horribly out of shape, so I did a race day registration. It was $40.

I’ll have a race review in the next week or so.

Here are the race results.

Run Medford 5 Mile and 2 Mile

In 2022, Dave McGillivray brought a new running event to Medford. Community participation was high and we look forward to running the race again this weekend.
