Not a Walk in the Park 5K
The Not a Walk in the Park 5K takes place on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Saugus, Massachusetts. Organized by the Saugus Family YMCA, the event is a 5K run/walk held at Breakheart Reservation, 177 Forest Street, Saugus, MA 01906.
The event uses chip timing provided by Bay State Race Services. Registration includes post-race refreshments, and awards are given to top finishers in each age group. A t-shirt is guaranteed for participants who register prior to April 4. Packet pick-up is available the day before at the Saugus Family YMCA.
This race is part of the YMCA of Metro North Road Race Series. Proceeds support the YMCA of Metro North Annual Fund to provide access to YMCA child care, camp, and health and wellness programs. The series raises funds for charitable activities that benefit the community; in 2025 the YMCA of Metro North provided more than $3 million in financial aid to support children, adults, and families regardless of income.
The event listing notes race-day registration and positions this 5K alongside other YMCA of Metro North 5K events in the regional series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
