2026 Beat the Clock 5k

Race Information

Join the “Beat the Clock” race, a fun community event supporting all sports programs at Ashland High School (AHS) and Ashland Middle School (AMS) through the nonprofit Ashland Clocker Club. Learn more about the Clocker Club: www.clockerclub.org. Set in historic Ashland, MA — a proud town along the Boston Marathon route — this 5K out-and-back course guides runners through scenic terrain featuring open fields, wooded nature trails, and stretches of paved paths, with both the start and finish at Ashland Middle School. A 1-mile fun run around the grassy school campus offers a great option for younger participants or those seeking a lighter challenge.
