Jerry’s Run for All Ages 5K
The 5K returns in 2024! This year, the 5K race is being named after Jerry Panarese, who was a member of the New England 65+ Runners Club. Jerry was the director of the Run of All Ages which was held in Wakefield, MA for 25 years. The race was going to end, so we decided to include it in our Run Medford event to keep Jerry's spirit alive and going.
Awards for the Jerry’s Run for All Ages 5K will be presented in 5-year age groups for 65+ participants as well as age graded scoring for 65+ participants in the 5K. There will also be discounted pricing for all runners 65 or older and free entry for those who are 80 or older.
