RegisterGet ready to lace up those running shoes because it's time for the annual MFoA 5k, 10k, and 1-mile fun run!
When you register for our MFoA races, your fee doesn't just cover the run, it also supports the fundraising efforts of the festival and arts scholarships in our community!
Join us on Sunday, July 5th at 7:30 am sharp for the 1-mile fun run, 7:45 for the 10k start and 08:05 for the 5k. We kick off the excitement for the 5k and 10k just past the Post Office on Smith St. 5k runners will dash down Atlantic Avenue to Seaview, then make a right onto Humphrey Street, ending at our finish line at Marblehead High School. As for our 10k challengers, you'll start at the Post Office too, but hang a left on Atlantic, take a scenic loop around the Neck, and finish strong at the High School. The 1-mile loop starts at the post office and loops onto Atlantic, the rail-trail, and around the high school.
Can't make it in person? Sign up for one of our virtual races!
The 1st and 2nd place finishers in each age division for the 5k and 10k receive their pick from our fantastic prizes. Plus, we have team awards for the 5k and 10k. The first 300 to runners to register will receive a performance-wicking race t-shirt. Additional t-shirts will be available for purchase for $12 during bib pick-up and on race day.
So, grab your most artsy running gear, mark your calendars, and let's hit the pavement together!

These values represent the 3-year monthly averages for June in Marblehead.
Marblehead is a scenic coastal town in the North Shore region of Massachusetts. This town of 20k has mostly retained its 18th century layout and is the perfect place to explore "old" New England. Additionally, many tourists skip Marblehead for the much more popular Salem, so you're likely to have a more personal experience here.
