From the Organizer
We are PROUD to continue hosting the Amesbury Days community 5K as an official event of the 2026 Amesbury Days brought to you by the Amesbury Chamber of Commerce. The last couple of years have been a huge success since we've taken over management of the event. We're making efforts to continue to enhance the runner experience while making the necessary changes to attract a larger audience! This year's event will offer an awesome course, terrific local vibe and way more room for an even bigger party at Heritage Park in the Lower Millyard.
That being said we are back this summer with a slightly revised 5K start and finish and the addition of the Amesbury Days 1 Mile Race!!
The 5K course is the same route just the elimination of one last big hill climb and a slight change to the finish.
The new 1 Mile course follows the same route, just an abridged version.
