The 16th Annual Run to Remember 5K is approaching fast! We are proud to offer the only USA Track & Field certified 5K course currently available in Upton, MA.
RUN TO REMEMBER A VETERAN!!! Our race honors all Active, Reserve, and Guard members and veterans who served our country in the past. Each participant is encouraged to wear the name of a veteran they wish to honor. If you don’t have your “own” veteran, we’ll provide you with a veteran’s name. A great way to show support!
