Greater Beverly YMCA Reindeer Run 5K Road Race
The event is a 5K road race held on December 5, 2026, at First Baptist Church, Cabot Street, Beverly, MA 01915, with the race area located in the back parking lot on Hale Street. The course passes along coastal roads and through historic downtown Beverly.
The course is stroller and dog friendly for well behaved, leashed dogs. The event supports the YMCA of the North Shore's financial assistance and scholarship programs; registration contributes to that mission. Fundraising levels specified include Snowflake at $50, Penguin at $100, and Reindeer at $250 or more, with an initial level that recognizes registration support.
Race logistics note that timing is provided by Bay State Race Services. A unisex crew neck tee shirt is available first come, first served and must be picked up before the race begins. Packet pickup is offered the day before at the Sterling Center YMCA and on race day at First Baptist Church. Street parking is available on Cabot Street and surrounding side streets. All sales are final and no refunds will be offered.
Results are posted at the finish line and emailed after the event. Awards include medals for 1st place male and female, age group medals for top three in multiple age categories, top three non binary and wheelchair finishers, and special recognition for first place Beverly residents. Sponsors include local organizations such as Campbell Funeral Home, Great Point Wealth, Lesley S. Ray Insurance Agency, Bay State Physical Therapy, Townsend Energy, Enjoy Your Life Brand, and Fresh Water Daily. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
