Walk or Run Your First 5K Sept 25th

Ever want to participate in a 5k road race? Here is your chance. Being only 3 miles, a 5k is the perfect beginners race. Join hundreds of Dedham families in this fun event

On September 25th Legacy Place is holding the first annual Legacy 5k Road Race. This is a great beginners race, a race the whole family could participate in. It's also a USA Track & Field Elite 5k, which could attract some big name local runners. 

The event starts at 9am in front of Whole Foods Market Dedham. After the race stick around for our free festival. MIX1041 will be on site with give away's and prizes. 

We have tons of free food and drinks by many of Whole Foods vendors such as Mix1 Drinks, Drink Hint, Lara Bar, Kind Bar, Happy Baby Food, Pop Chips, Crescent Ridge Dairy, and more.
