Get ready for one of the most beloved fall traditions in the region! The Apple Harvest Run returns to the scenic town of West Newbury, MA—just minutes from charming downtown Newburyport—for a day of community, fitness, and fun for all ages.
This year marks 37 incredible years of running, cheering, and making a difference in support of the Page School. Featuring a USATF-certified 5-mile and 5K race, plus a 1-mile fun run for kids, the Apple Harvest Run is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community spirit and school pride!
Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or simply want to support a great cause, there’s a place for everyone at the starting line. Not racing? No problem—your donation still helps make a huge impact.
All proceeds directly support the Dr. John C. Page Elementary School, funding vital educational resources and enrichment opportunities that help our students thrive.
🎉 Family-friendly atmosphere with carnival games, activities, bounce houses and prizes!
🍔 Fuel up post-race at our food and beer tent, where you’ll find delicious local bites and brews while enjoying the festive atmosphere.
🏅 Medals, community vendors, raffle baskets & plenty of fall vibes!
