About the Arlington Education Foundation 5K
The course starts and finishes at a field behind a hockey rink, threading out onto the Minuteman Bikeway before turning through neighborhood streets and past a historic mill site. It comes back along the same bike path, so the finish area is familiar by the time you get there. The route is road and paved path, with no serious climbing.
Bib pickup runs the evening before at a local running store on Mass Ave, with a second window the following morning outside the high school. No pickup is available on race morning itself, so arriving with your bib in hand matters. Parking is street parking in the surrounding neighborhood, and the organizers suggest walking or running over if you live nearby.
