Becca Pizzi Annual 5K

The Becca Pizzi 5K is a neighborhood race with a particularly Boston kind of credential behind it: Becca Pizzi is a two-time Boston Marathon winner, and the event puts that running pedigree into a more approachable format. The course is designed for runners and walkers alike, so you do not need to be chasing a personal best to have a reason to sign up. For regular runners, it is a chance to add a local 5K to the calendar and race alongside a field with a mix of experience levels. For everyone else, the shorter distance keeps the commitment manageable while still giving the morning a clear purpose. The event also supports the Becca Pizzi Foundation, adding a charitable angle without turning the race into a fundraising obligation. Bring your sneakers, leave the marathon training plan at home and treat it as a solid weekend run with a little more occasion attached.
