Our neighbors at the Oak Square YMCA are hosting the OAKtoberfest 5K Race & Taste on Sunday, October 18!
Join the YMCA of Greater Boston for a family-friendly 5K Race Series designed for every pace and every age. With seven races from July through November, the series celebrates the journey, whether it’s your first steps toward fitness or your next strong finish.
Walk, jog, or run alongside friends, families, and neighbors as you build confidence, stay active, and celebrate 175 years of YMCA impact. Wherever you’re starting, you belong here — and every finish line is worth celebrating.
The OAKtoberfest 5K Race & Taste will feature a live band, free beer for runners age 21 and older with valid ID, free snacks, and a food truck as the Oak Square YMCA celebrates 25 amazing years in the community.
Sunday, October 18
Come out to run, enjoy the festivities, and celebrate 25 years of the Oak Square YMCA as part of the Brighton community.
