Lace up your shoes for a vibrant community celebration at the Let's Get Movin' New Balance Foundation 5K for Fitness, taking place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in scenic Boston, Massachusetts. This inspiring 5K walk/run welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, including strollers and dogs, along the East Boston Greenway. Known for its relatively flat terrain, the Greenway offers a pleasant and accessible course, providing an enjoyable experience for both seasoned runners and those new to the 5K distance. Typical race day conditions in early June boast comfortable highs around 73°F and lows around 57°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a fantastic race experience.
More than just a race, this event, now in its 14th year, champions healthy lifestyles for children, teens, and families through the Let's Get Movin' program of NeighborHealth (formerly East Boston Neighborhood Health Center). The atmosphere is charged with community spirit, featuring a lively warm-up session and live music to keep you energized. All finishers will proudly receive a medal, and top performers across various age categories will be recognized with awards. Adding to the excitement, the first 250 registrants will snag a complimentary event T-shirt.
Join in the fun, fitness, and camaraderie that begins with bib pickup and day-of registration at Memorial Park starting at 8:30 AM, leading up to the 10:00 AM race start. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your achievement with refreshments and continued live music. With free entry for children and youth under 18, this event is a perfect opportunity for the whole family to get moving and support a great cause.
