Event Information
Overview
Please join us as we are back in person for the 15th running of the Fallon Health Canal Diggers 5K and Kids Fun Run! We know many of you have been waiting to run with friends again. That is why we want to make this day special, so we are excited to announce that this year's race will start at Polar Park! In addition to the start of the Race, the entire Kids Fun Run will take place in the Park. So, don't wait...sign up now!!!

We understand that some of you might not be ready to run with crowds, or may be busy on Saturday September 11, so we will be offering a virtual run as well this year. Virtual runners will have from Monday September 5, 2021 at 9:00 AM until Friday September 10, 2021 at 12:00 PM to run a virtual 5K and submit your time. The winner of the Virtual 5K will be announced Saturday September 11 with the in person runners.

As you know, each year we strive to improve this all-volunteer, 100% charitable race, making it the premier 5K in the area. This year will be no different. All in person runners can expect the traditional finisher's medal, post-race food, water and Harpoon Beer. There will also be activities for the kids. All Virtual 5K runners will receive a medal.

The first 500 registered participants, whether virtual or in person, we will receive a long sleeve shirt.

Please join us on September 11th as we welcome you back for Worcester's most popular 5K!
