2nd Annual Harvard Pilgrim 5K
Corporate Road Race
The Harvard Pilgrim 5K road race is all about healthy lifestyles, team-building, community and FUN! Proudly supporting the Nashua Police Athletic League (PAL) Cross Country running program, this annual event is well on its way to becoming a classic.
Individual runners and walkers are welcome to this 5K run /walk event. Also, as this is a Corporate Road Race, local companies are encouraged to field teams of employees. All participants will be treated to a terrific post-race celebration.
Starting and finishing at Nashua’s historic Holman Stadium, the USATF-certified course is relatively flat, traveling along traffic-controlled roads and then winding through several quiet neighborhoods.
So, lace ‘em up and join us on Thursday evening, May 24th!
