Rachel's Run

Rachel's Run

Rachel's Run takes place on 11/21/2026 at the Academy of Notre Dame in Tyngsboro, MA. The event continues a local Thanksgiving running tradition on the school's cross country course and serves as a memorial run and fundraiser. Early editions raised initial funds for the school's science lab. Ongoing proceeds support an annual scholar/athlete award and a science scholarship fund.

The event maintains a community focus and a history of collecting canned goods and other non-perishable food items for distribution to a local food pantry. A course description and map are available from the organizer. Volunteer opportunities are part of the event organization.
