  • 33% of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Medway House Family Shelter, a program of SMOC (South Middlesex Opportunity Council).  The Medway House is an emergency shelter for 12 homeless families at a time.  In addition to providing shelter for families, the staff assists families in acquiring permanent affordable housing, as well as, counseling, education, vocational, and social services and referrals.
  • 67% of the proceeds from the event will go equally towards supporting the Franklin Food Pantry and the Medway Village Food Pantry, which both support those facing food insecurity in the Franklin/Medway area.

All participants who register by August 7th will be guaranteed a Reach Out and Run 5K shirt that you can pickup with your race bib on race day. The registration fee for adults is $30. Children 12 and under are $10.  100% of your registration fee will go directly to Medway House, Franklin Food Pantry, and Medway Food Pantry.
