Join the vibrant Belmont AAPI Run on Sunday, May 3, 2026, in Belmont, MA, for a celebration of community and culture. Offering both a USATF-certified, chip-timed 5K and a chip-timed 2K, this event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The 5K course, shared with the popular Becca Pizzi 5K, takes participants through the charming Winn Brook neighborhood, starting and finishing on the Belmont High School track. For those seeking a shorter, scenic experience, the 2K offers a flat, loop course winding near Claypit Pond. Typical race day conditions in early May feature pleasant highs around 68°F and lows around 44°F, with only a 14% chance of precipitation, ensuring comfortable running weather.

More than just a race, the Belmont AAPI Run is a cornerstone event in the community, inaugurated in 2022 to raise the voice and visibility of Asian American and Pacific Islander residents. Funds raised directly support local nonprofits like the Belmont Chinese American Association and Belmont Celebrates AAPI Heritage. Runners will appreciate post-race amenities including complimentary refreshments like fresh bread, bagels, water, and bananas, with a special treat of Moozy's ice cream sandwiches for kid runners under 18. Medical aid is on-site courtesy of the Belmont Fire Department EMS Bike Unit, and Bay State Physical Therapy offers free post-race massage stretches. The festive atmosphere, combined with a well-organized course and community spirit, makes the Belmont AAPI Run a truly unique and meaningful experience.
