About the GROW into Summer 5k
The course runs through Cambridge City Park and into the residential streets that border it, so you get a mix of park paths and neighborhood roads. It is not a technically demanding route, and the park setting keeps things shaded in spots. Awards go deep into age groups, which means most people are racing someone, not just the clock.
Packet pickup opens early on race morning at the pavilion in Cambridge City Park, just across from the city pool. The finish line has snacks and bottled water waiting when you come through.
