2024 Race

Jog Your Memory 5K is BACK!

For 2024, we are thrilled to once again offer flexible options to make sure that everyone can be included in our race weekend!

GO THE DISTANCE

The 11th Annual Jog Your Memory 5K Run and 1.5-Mile Walk will once again be held LIVE on Sunday, October 6th at 9:00 am at Mitchell Elementary School located at 187 Brookline St, Needham, MA 02492.

on your time and on your turf

Can’t make it to our in-person event? That’s OK! You don’t live in Needham, the Greater Boston Area, or even Massachusetts? No problem! You prefer to run in the morning or maybe the afternoon or even at night? Works for us! Maybe you prefer a trail, a beach, the city, a treadmill? Yes! Never run a 5K before!? No sweat!

Our virtual events allow you to complete a 5K or 1.5-Mile Walk anytime the weekend of September 8th to 10th. We’re excited to continue to broaden our reach well beyond our local community, and we hope that you will help us make this year extra special by bringing your friends, family, and colleagues along to join us on our mission to find a cure for Alzheimer’s and Support our Caregivers and Families in need along the way.

The past few years have tested our resolve in every aspect of our lives, but also deepened the need for our work on behalf of some of the most vulnerable populations. Let’s come together as a community, broader and stronger than ever before!
