This event is a community 5K run and walk held at Michael's Harborside, 1 Tournament Wharf, Newburyport, MA 01950.

Free parking is available at Michael's Harborside.
The event supports the Greater Newburyport ovarian cancer awareness organization by providing funds for local support services, research, education, and awareness. The in-person program includes morning check-in and day-of registration, a welcome ceremony and speeches before the start, and presentation of runner prizes and awards following the race. Chip timing with bib chips is in use for more accurate results.
Fee structure listed for the event includes adult registration tiers, a reduced fee for ages 12 to 17, and free entry for children under 12. The event is organized with assistance from a local running club and is endorsed by a regional runners club for older athletes. Pre-registered participants have designated bib pickup options prior to race day at a local sports store and at the venue on the morning of the event.
