This year's race introduces a first-of-its-kind collectible enamel pin experience built into the 5K route. Runners, walkers, and rollers collect five exclusive enamel pins at checkpoints, each one a piece of a larger puzzle, each carrying its own name and story.
Hidden among them: rare variant pins only a handful of runners will find, including a limited-edition collaboration pin with An Unlikely Story, the beloved bookstore owned by Jeff Kinney, creator of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Festival Includes:
- live music
- local food & drink vendors
- festival games, obstacle courses, & glow party post sunset
- foam pit & face painting
- a Customization Station (mix and match your own premium merch so you get exactly what you want--we make it right there in front of you)
- big silent auction + raffle prizes
- pro fireworks finale by the crew behind Provincetown's wildly popular July 4th show.
All proceeds go to CAR-T cancer clinical trials at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Seattle Children's Hospital in honor of the For Kids' Sake Foundation's co-founders' daughter Malia Jusczyk who died in 2023 of the very cancer they're aiming to crush with your help.
Can't be there in person? Register to participate in the fun run remotely — we'll mail your pins and goodies to you.
