FUNKY 2026

Lace up your running shoes for the FUNKY 2026, a vibrant running festival hitting Seekonk, MA, on August 2, 2026. This popular event, hosted at the Seekonk YMCA, offers something for every runner with distances including a 5K, 10K, and a certified Half Marathon. Both the 5K and 10K courses are described as flat and fast, ideal for those chasing a personal best. Half Marathoners will enjoy a largely flat route for the first five and final two miles, with some gentle rolling hills providing a manageable challenge in between.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with August highs around 85°F and lows around 67°F, accompanied by a 12% chance of precipitation, making for a potentially warm but enjoyable run. The race is chip-timed, ensuring accurate results for all participants. Aid stations will be well-placed, offering water at one stop on the 5K, two on the 10K, and eight strategically located along the Half Marathon course, with some operating as convenient "grab and go" stations. Additionally, Half Marathon runners will find porta-potties available at miles 4 and 8.

All online registrants for FUNKY 2026 will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a well-deserved finisher's medal. While all participants earn a medal, age group awards and plaques for overall winners are reserved for the Half Marathon. Packet pickup is conveniently held on race day only. This event promises a lively atmosphere and a rewarding experience on the flat to gently rolling roads of Seekonk.
