7th Annual PawSox 5K Walk ‘n’ Run
May 19, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
The PawSox Foundation will again present the 7th Annual “A Veterans Home Run: A 5K Walk ‘n’ Run” to benefit those who have served in the military. The race starts and finishes at McCoy Stadium, and participants receive complimentary t-shirts, food, and tickets to a PawSox game.
The event will benefit Operation Stand Down, which serves 67,800 veterans and their families, as well as other organizations. The PawSox will also again recognize the “21 Heroes,” the Pawtucket veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War.
One of the premier road races in the area, the PawSox 5K will start from the McCoy Stadium parking lot, weave through the streets of downtown Pawtucket, and finish with “a touch of home” on the PawSox’ actual baseball diamond.
