Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the 50 5K Road Race
Friday September 3rd starting at 5P.M. - Prices vary - Patriot Place
The popular annual Harvard Pilgrim Finish at the 50 5K Road Race returns this year to Patriot Place on September 3rd! Registrations are now open for the race so make sure you sign up if interested! The popular race returns for its 11th year after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the event that was going to take place last year.
The Finish at the 50 is managed by DMSE Sports, a leader in sports even management that is also helping the Boston Marathon with their management and has assisted in COVID-19 vaccination efforts at Gillette Stadium this spring.
The Finish at the 50 will start and finish inside the Gillette Stadium, home of the six-time Super Bowl Champions New England Patriots and New England Revolution! It starts at 5PM and there will also be a Kids Dash to allow children to experience the thrill of running a 50-yard dash. This is an exciting opportunity for runners to run across the 50-yard line in a can’t-miss event!
A portion of the proceeds from each race entry will be donated to the New England Patriot’s Foundation and they will be allocated to a variety of health-related initiatives across New England.
Registration for the 5K race is now open!! Runners that are 8-17 years old are encouraged to register for just $25 and children 8 and below can register for the Kids Dash for $10. Prices for adults are $35 (now until August 30th), and $40 (beginning August 31st). Foxborough residents will receive a $5 discount.
The 5K run will be ran entirely on the Patriot Place campus beginning at 6PM and it includes ramps inside the Gillette Stadium before entering onto the field through the south end zone tunnel. This year, the 10K Race will not happen due to timing and seasonal constraints but it will return next year!
Registered runners can pick up their race bibs on Thursday, September 2nd at Olympia Sports and on Friday, September 3rd at the Cross Pavilion. Everyone who participates in the Kids Dash and 5K will receive a completion medal and commemorative t-shirt. The top-three men’s and women’s finishers in the 5K will receive Olympia Sports gift cards.
