We welcome strollers! We just ask that you line up toward the back of the race for safety for all! Unfortunately, no dogs are allowed due to race liability.
CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!
We are always looking for day of race volunteers, if you would like to volunteer for the race, please email info@ripplesofhope.org
We look forward to coming together to make a difference as we celebrate gratitude both in-person and across the globe. Invite family and friends to join in the fun both in-person or virtually during Thanksgiving week from anywhere to support these important causes.
You can register, plus give directly to support work in Dedham. Our partners work to reduce food insecurity, give young people the opportunities they deserve, and we have added helping families in need due to natural disasters and refugee resettlement.
Please be as generous as you can – it does make a difference to these wonderful organizations:
- Dedham Youth Commission
- Dedham Food Pantry
- Ripples of Hope local initiatives
