Hey, local runner friends!
Check out what’s coming to Harvard Square again this spring: the Tory Row 5K!
FYI: I heard this race was an absolute blast last year! I’m so bummed I missed it!
My friend, Jayne, a fellow runner and Tory Row’s Events and Communications Manager, is planning the 5K again this year. She basically thought of everything she’d want as part of her ideal road race and incorporated these things into the 5K. The Tory Row 5K includes some sweet prizes and swag (including a tech shirt), chip timing, bag check, a post-race celebration with music, food, and free draft beer, and plenty of eco-friendly porto-potties. All the good stuff you want at race.
All proceeds from the event benefit an awesome local organization called Title IX Girls Running Club. It’s very similar to Girls on the Run, but based in Cambridge and focusing on all aspects of emotional health for girls 9-15 with a focus on running. (I dare you to watch the video on their site and not cry.)
To help promote the race, Jayne offered to giveaway a free entry to one lucky CNC reader!
To enter: Leave a comment on this post about why you’d like to run the Tory Row 5K. Earn an extra entry by posting this giveaway on Facebook or tweeting about it. (Just be sure to leave a second comment on this post with your post or tweet.) I’ll randomly pick a winner in the morning.
Good luck!

Any race that will get me to travel would be a blast. I love running new places and this would be a great kick off to summer racing season!
I feel like winning this free entry will motivate me to send in my other race forms to start off race season!
This year I am trying to beat my PR and hit a 30min 5K. I would love to add the Tory Row to my schedule of races.
I would love to try to complete this race… The Super Sunday race you posted about before was my first ever, and I’m eager to run another!
Is it too late to enter? It’s never too late to run!
