Dudley Pond 5k

The Dudley Pond 5K Run, Walk, and Kids Fun Run is held in Wayland, Massachusetts, featuring a scenic 3.5-mile loop around Dudley Pond. The course includes small rolling hills along the pond's shoreline, followed by an uphill stretch before looping back to finish at Mansion Beach with a fast downhill and flat section. Walkers follow the same route but turn around at the one-mile mark.

Kids' races vary by age, ranging from 25 yards to about a quarter mile. Fitness walkers also enjoy a warm-up walk along the picturesque pond. The event offers T-shirts to the first 50 registered 5K runners and competitive walkers, creating a family-friendly and community-oriented atmosphere.
