Fudgcicle 5K Series

 

The Fudgcicle series will begin its 50th running!  Welcome to 2025!

 

As you already know this is a no frills run – no water stops – just pure running.  And you do not need to be a GLRR member to run.  

2025 DatesSaturdays, 8 AM (7:50AM early start – suggested for runners who require over 45 min. to run the course), Jan. 4, 11, 18, 25, Feb. 1, 8, 15, 22.

The last date, Feb. 22, is the TWO-SOME Run, where you pair up with someone else, and your combined times are totaled for ranking.

LocationTewksbury Memorial High School, 320 Pleasant St, Tewksbury, MA 

Cost:   $10 for the series.    You can register in-person as well and donate $1 or $2 (or more!) per run.  We also accept donations as well!  All excess monies from the series go to the Tewksbury Food Pantry.  Speaking of which, we also have a food drive in February to support the Tewksbury Food Pantry – we expect you to be generous!

Volunteers: We will need 4 people for the finish line crew, 2 people for race day registrations. If you’re interested in volunteering for any of these spots, please contact the race director, Michelle, at fudgcicle@glrr.net.
