Description

_ The 15th Annual Benefit Walk/Run for Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House:

In the interest of public health the 15th Annual Benefit Walk/Run for Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House will take place virtually!

Any time between Thursday, September 10th and Sunday, September 20th, complete your distance, submit your results, and upload photos to our social media sites.

Each Adult 5K or 10K participant receives a T-Shirt, E-Bib, and E-Finisher Certificate; shirts are available for Youths and 1 Milers for a modest fee.  We will also send along a playlist of music and words of encouragement from event Honorary Chair and elite Marathon legend Uta Pippig, as well as Orchard House Staff and volunteers. 

Maintain physical distance while you run or walk along the beautiful streets of Historic Concord, MA following our USATF-certified 10K course or our Alternate 5K (due to ongoing construction along our certified 5K).  Not in Concord?  No worries. You can run or walk anywhere in the world.  On a treadmill. Around your apartment.  Up and down the stairs.  In your backyard or basement.  At a playground or park.  The possibilities are virtually endless!

Walkers, strollercisers, and running groups/teams welcome. Youngsters or fitness newbies can start with our new 1 Miler.  Fundraising is most definitely encouraged, but not required.  An added bonus this year is the ability to utilize the RaceJoy app to chart your progress, get and give cheers of support, and certify your time to qualify for your next big race – you can even track Uta Pippig!

If you’re unable to physically participate, give a Gift Registration to someone you know, make a Donation, and/or purchase a Commemorative T-shirt or other items from our Virtual Walk/Run Store. All proceeds benefit the mission of public education and historic preservation at Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House, c. 1650.
