Rachel's Run : Tyngsboro, MA, November 21, 2026
Rachel's Run is a community running and walking event held at the Academy of Notre Dame in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts. The event includes a community walk and two community 5K runs, one specifically for children 12 and under. It takes place annually around the Thanksgiving period and continues a high school cross country tradition started by a former student and her friends.
Proceeds from these races and walks helped establish a science lab at the Academy of Notre Dame. With the lab completed, funds raised now support an annual scholar and athlete award and a science scholarship fund in her memory. Participants historically brought cans and other nonperishable food items to be distributed to a local food pantry.
A course description and map are available for the route on the event website. The event listing also notes volunteer opportunities and provides contact options for questions. The description focuses on community participation, local charitable support, and ongoing scholarship and award funding connected to the original high school tradition.
