Lace up your sneakers and join the fun!
You're invited to the third annual Austin Reardon Memorial 5K Walk/Run (AR5k) – a joyful and meaningful event that brings the community together to honor the life and legacy of Austin Reardon, a proud graduate of Norwood High’s Class of 2019.
This annual race isn't just about miles – it’s about making a difference. Proceeds go to the Austin Reardon Foundation, which awards scholarships to graduating Norwood High seniors who reflect Austin’s generous heart and vibrant spirit.
The race kicks off and finishes at the Knights of Columbus on Nichols Street, winding through a scenic residential route close to the high school. Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, there's something for everyone — music, delicious food, raffles, and community vibes that Austin would have loved.
Run for Austin. Walk for Austin. Celebrate Austin.
Come out, have fun, and help us make a lasting impact in his name.
