Lowell 5K Run/Walk

The Lowell 5K Run/Walk started in 1997 as a school fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, honoring former principal Dr. Rosemary Murphy.

In 2026, the Lowell PTA will host the event, with all proceeds going to My Half Kitchen. Thank you for your participation.

The race will start/finish at Lowell Elementary School. Participants will enjoy a timed, flat, double loop course through the neighborhood.
