Danvers 7 Miler and 4K

Get ready to hit the pavement and the trail at the popular Danvers 7 Miler and 4K on Sunday, November 15, 2026, in scenic Danvers, MA. Kicking off from Tapley Park on Pine Street, this event offers two distances to suit every runner: a challenging 7-mile course and a more relaxed 4K run/walk. Both routes offer a unique blend of terrain, featuring a mix of local roads and the renowned, flat, and hard-packed Danvers Rail Trail, promising miles that "fly by" for participants. The course is generally flat, with an immediate incline at the start, followed by two enjoyable long descents. Typically, race day conditions in mid-November bring highs around 52°F and lows around 34°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating crisp, ideal running weather.

The 7-mile course includes one water stop, which runners will pass twice, ensuring hydration throughout your journey. Beyond the course, this race is celebrated for its inclusive atmosphere, welcoming walkers, dogs, and strollers to join the fun. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with post-race festivities featuring an assortment of packaged food, fruit, and drinks. As a special treat, show your race bib at the Sylvan Street Grille for a complimentary beer or glass of wine. Early registrants are also guaranteed a cozy, super-soft hooded long-sleeve shirt.

More than just a race, the Danvers 7 Miler and 4K proudly supports local charities, including the Danvers Rail Trail, making your participation a stride towards community betterment. With its engaging course, welcoming environment, and rewarding post-race perks, this event promises a memorable experience for both seasoned runners and casual participants.
