Reading Lions Journey For Sight 5K
About this race
We hope you will join us for this year's Reading Lions Journey for Sight 5K!
The Reading Lions Club ("Club") and The Friends of Reading Recreation annually present a family-friendly 5K Road Race and 1 Mile Walk through central Reading. All proceeds from the race are donated to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund (MLERF), and other local sight-related charities supported by the Club. MLERF finances basic eye research at world renowned institutions such as the Mass. Eye and Ear right here in Boston. Over the years, the Club has donated over $350,000 from the proceeds of this race to MLERF, and we are excited to continue these efforts in conjunction with the Friends of Reading Recreation (FORR).
Join fellow runners on July 16, 2026 for the Reading Lions Journey For Sight 5K. It's a fantastic 5K, 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in Reading.
