11th Annual Benefit 5K/10K for Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House...
- 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles
- 10K Run:- Run 6.2 Miles
The professionally-timed 5K and 10K for Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House take place on fast, well-marked courses that wend their way through Historic Concord at the start of Fall Foliage season.
With ample water stations and healthy snacks provided prior to step-off, you'll really enjoy participating! Top three finishers in each age category along with the overall male and female champions receive awards.
Our event also features favorite Boston-area musical talent, "The Rusted Bucket Band," offering lively entertainment, Living History portrayers with 19th Century toys and games, and the Alcott School playground. Members of The Concord Minute Men will be on hand to fire the thrilling starting volley.
A post-race light picnic lunch is available to all participants, and Uta will, as always, graciously pose for pictures and sign autographs, so bring family, friends, and colleagues to share in the fun and excitement!
Team registration available; youngsters in strollers, wheelchair participants, and leashed dogs are always welcome.
