Description
  
Run, walk, or cheer alongside UTA PIPPIG -- world-renowned long-distance runner and fitness motivator -- and our Honorary Chair for the 12th consecutive year!  All proceeds support education and preservation at one of America's oldest and most authentically-preserved historic house museums.
     
     

The professionally-timed 5K and 10K runs 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 a thrilling starting volley.

Post-race fun food and sweet treats available to all participants.  Uta Pippig will gladly pose for pictures and chat, so bring family, friends, and colleagues to share in the fun and excitement!

Youngsters in strollers, wheelchair participants, and leashed dogs always welcome.  Team registration available.  Fundraising encouraged, but not required.
