The Livestrong at the Y 5K & Half Marathon is a community running event hosted by the YMCA of Metro North and the Torigian Family YMCA in Peabody, Massachusetts. The event takes place at Lt.

The race offers two primary distances for participants:
- 5K
- Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
The course is open to both runners and walkers. For safety and logistical reasons, neither strollers nor dogs are permitted on the race courses. Professional chip timing services are provided for all participants to track their performance.

Specific awards are granted based on age groups for the 5K race only, with recognition for top finishers.
