Framingham – Local runners and walkers can still register for the annual Jack’s Abby United
Way 5K, scheduled on Saturday, October 15.

Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers Events Manager, Jordan Griffin said, “we’re so excited to host the United Way 5K again this year. We love the enthusiasm and support this event gets from our local community, and knowing proceeds benefit so many important programs really energizes runners on race day. We cannot wait to see everyone 21+ at the finish line with a cold beer.” 

The annual event begins and end at Jack’s Abby, 100 Clinton Street in Framingham. Awards will be presented to the top male and female runners in several age categories, and anyone 21+ will
receive a complimentary larger after the race.

The cost to participate is $35 in advance or $40 the day of the race. Through generous sponsor support, 100% of each runners registration fee will directly support community programs.

Participants also receive a long-sleeve t-shirt, koozie, and of course, that cold brew after the race.

Event sponsor and longtime supporter of the United Way of Tri-County Alira Health CEO Gabriele Brambilla said “Alira Health is grateful for the great and important causes the United Way represents, and we are glad to be part of the team.”

Jack’s Abby owners are also donating 10% of the afternoon’s food sales back to the United Way, so participants and cheerleaders are encouraged to celebrate after the race with something delicious
from the Jack’s Abby kitchen.
