Jog Your Memory 5K : Race Weekend
Jog Your Memory 5K is an annual community running event that supports Alzheimer’s research and caregiver assistance. The 13th annual edition takes place in 2026 with a live event in Needham, Massachusetts and a parallel virtual race weekend.
The live event is held at Mitchell Elementary School, 187 Brookline St, Needham, MA. A virtual option allows participants to complete their distance anywhere during the weekend of October 16 to October 18, 2026. Registration for both in-person and virtual entries includes opportunities to become a fundraiser, start or join a fundraising team, and order a T-shirt. Pre-assigned bib pick-up occurs the day before the live event at the school.
The event offers two distance choices:
- 5K run
- 1.5 mile walk
Course maps are provided for both the 5K run and the 1.5 mile walk. The event’s stated mission is to find a cure for Alzheimer’s and to support caregivers and families. The organizer also runs the Dick Caley Caregiver Fund, which has provided annual grants to caregivers since 2017. Past race highlights and sponsorship information are available as part of the race weekend materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
