Event Information
About The Race
The FBE Apple 5K and 1 mile race are events that are a celebration of education in Belmont. The 5k race passes by four of Belmont's schools (Burbank, Chenery, Wellington, and the High School) and recognizes Belmont's commitment to educating its young. The proceeds from the race will fund the Education Innovation Fund for the Foundation for Belmont Education, a 501c3 non-profit organization that works with residents and businesses in Belmont, Massachusetts to raise private funds that are used to enrich the education provided by the Belmont Public Schools.
Fall into Shape with our Couch to 5K Program
Are you interested in running a 5K but don't know where to start? Have you run a 5k or two and are looking to improve? Start the new school year right by signing up for our Couch to 5K program. This 6 week email and group training program will provide you with daily workouts and periodic group training runs that take you from the couch to the finish line on October 6th. New this year we will have multiple training plans to support both runners entirely new to running as well as those looking to improve.

You'll be under the tutelage of Scot DeDeo, our race co-director, ultra marathoner, and finisher of over 175 events. Using an easy to follow schedule and weekly coaching emails, we'll get you walking then running at a pace that's right for you, building strength, fitness and confidence along the way. The six week course costs $80 and includes one adult entry to the 5K (a $35 value)

3 Group Runs - September 1st, September 15th, and September 29th
