West Acton 5K & Fun Run supporting ABC Compass
About this race
Moving together to move our community forward!
All are welcome at this family-friendly run/walk event to support Acton-Boxborough Community Compass - the mental wellness program and the AB Resource Center. Let's come together as a community (rain or shine!) and enjoy the power of connection.
Yankee Timing will be there to provide professional race timing to all participants (iresultslive.com), and medals will be awarded to the top finishers in each age group. But don’t let that intimidate you — you can go at any pace… run or walk, stroll with neighbors, or mingle with new friends. It’s all about having fun together!
Get the kids involved in giving back to the community with a One-Mile Fun Run! They'll be cheered along the route with bubbles and noisemakers. Fun prizes for the fastest and most spirited!
And NEW - you wan walk/run the 5k with your well behaved leashed dog in the dog dash!
WHEN : Saturday May 9 2026, 10am (check-in opens at 9:10am, medal ceremony at 10:55am)
WHERE : Spruce Street, Acton. Best to park at the Boardwalk School parkings. 21 Elm Street (walk over the boardwalk to Spruce Street) or at 75 Spruce Street
