Paddy's Cambridge Classic 5K
Paddy's Cambridge Classic is a community 5K event held at 260 Walden Street in Cambridge, MA. The event supports girls' sports in Cambridge, with primary beneficiaries including the Cambridge Girls Softball League and other local girls' teams. Organizers report having raised more than $130,000 for girls' sports in Cambridge.
The event offers multiple participation categories, including a 5K run and walk and separate under-17 run and walk categories. The race is sanctioned by USA Track and Field and is timed by RaceWire. A route map is provided for the course.
After the race there is a block party outside Paddy's that closes Walden Street to traffic. The block party includes a large beer garden, food trucks, and a DJ, and runs into the evening. Parking is available at Danehy Park. All participants who register before September 5 are guaranteed to receive a shirt.
Registration, number, and shirt pick-up are arranged in advance and there are on-site sign-up options on the morning of the event. The event listing distinguishes online registration and in-person sign-up windows, and it includes separate entries for the run and walk categories.
