About the FREE Buzz By Belmont 5K Fun Run and Fitness Fest
This is a free neighborhood race organized by the parent-teacher group at a local elementary school. It serves as the school's main fundraiser for the year, with proceeds going toward field trips, classroom snacks, and teacher appreciation events. The race has roots deep in the neighborhood and draws a crowd that is largely connected to the school.
Packet pickup and logistics are not detailed in what is available, but the event is free to enter, so there is no registration fee to worry about. The morning belongs to the Belmont neighborhood, and the school community turns out in force.
