The James Gang 5K Run and Walk Fundraiser
The James Gang 5K Run and Walk Fundraiser is the third annual 5K event held on September 27, 2026, in Burlington, Massachusetts. The event starts and finishes at Burlington High School, 123 Cambridge Street, and supports The James Gang, a 501(c)(3) organization that pursues inclusion opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and promotes awareness of NARS1 gene disorder.
The road race is a USATF certified course with professional chip timing by RaceWire. Participant amenities listed include cider donuts, a water stop on course, music at the finish area, free downloadable finish line photos, and participant shirts (registration by September 9 guarantees a shirt; later registrants receive shirts as available). Prizes are awarded to the top three male and top three female finishers.
Practical information notes that parking is available in the upper lot near the cafeteria and the lower lot in front of the school; the school will be unlocked and restrooms will be accessible. Race packets can be picked up on race day at Burlington High School and early pickup details are to be announced. Roads will not be closed for the race; a police detail will assist at intersections but participants should remain aware of traffic.
Sponsors named for the event include Boston DJ, Pespisa Company, Burlington Run Club, and NW Pest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
