Lynch Memorial 5K
The Lynch Memorial 5K is a commemorative running event held annually in Danvers, Massachusetts, with the 2025 race marking its final edition. The race takes place at Holten Richmond Middle School and offers both an in-person 5K run/walk and a virtual 5K option. The course features a mix of road and the Danvers Rail Trail's hard-packed gravel, starting and finishing behind the school.
Walkers, dogs (leashed), and strollers are welcome. Participants receive long-sleeve shirts if registered by early November. Post-race refreshments include packaged food, fruit, and hot coffee.
Proceeds support scholarships for Danvers High School seniors continuing their education. The event honors the late Robert Lynch and fosters community spirit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
