Prepare for an invigorating summer evening at the Tom McCoy Summer Fun Runs, a cherished weekly tradition celebrating its 50th year in 2026. Taking place every Wednesday from May 20 through July 22, runners can join the fun on June 24, 2026, in scenic Westerly, Rhode Island. This free, family-friendly series offers distances for everyone, including a 5K, a 1-mile option, and a 1/3-mile run for children up to 10 years old. One registration covers the entire season, making it easy to return week after week to enjoy the camaraderie and fitness.

The races typically begin at 65 Atlantic Avenue, utilizing the back parking lot of the Pleasant View Inn as the start and finish area. Participants are encouraged to visit the Westerly Track Club website for detailed course maps, which historically have featured a two-loop course for the 5K. Expect typical race day conditions in late June with highs around 78°F and lows around 62°F, accompanied by a low 13% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a coastal run. The Tom McCoy Summer Fun Runs are more than just a race; they are a vibrant community gathering put on by the Westerly Track Club, fostering health and connection throughout the summer season.
