Miles for Myles 5K 2026
The Miles for Myles 5K is a community fundraising run and fun run held on October 18, 2026 at 1079 Massachusetts Avenue, Lunenburg, MA, USA. The event is organized by the Lunenburg XC/Track & Field Boosters and expresses the mission "Community Through Caring."
Funds raised support the XC/Track & Field Boosters, including a scholarship for a Lunenburg student athlete, and benefit local relief efforts such as the Lunenburg Food Pantry and the Lunenburg Turkey Hill Family Lions Club. Historically the event has contributed significant funding toward the town athletic facility and school programs, and it has supported the No Need to Speed campaign.
The event was established in response to a local tragedy and is dedicated to a Lunenburg student athlete who died at age 16 in a speed related accident. The race has roots in earlier local fundraising efforts led by the Lunenburg Track and Fields Association, which formed to address the need for athletic facilities in the town.
Event offerings include:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Kids Fun Run
Registration involves fees with pricing tiers. Some registration options include a race shirt when completed by the stated deadline, while late registration may omit a shirt. Virtual results and fundraising pages are maintained for participants and teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
