Event Information
The Jog for Joy 5K
In 2019 Highrock MetroWest Church hosted a 5K fun run in support of mental health resources for teens and a rockin’ party to celebrate. We raised enough money to sustain Youth Mental Health First Aid courses offered locally for several years, and we partnered with people from all over to spread a little light into a dark season.

Since then, we've hosted two more jogs that have resulted in tens of thousands of dollars being given away!

On Sunday, December 4th, join us for a classic 5K race experience with professional timing, pre and post race snacks, and some holiday fun for the whole family! We’d love to have you join as a participant OR volunteer in hosting the event. For those who can’t make it in person, register as a virtual participant, do your jog during the week of November 27 - December 4th, and support the cause from wherever you are!

Whether you walk, jog, roll, or stroll, you’ll be supporting these amazing organizations:

Needham Youth and Family Services (Needham, MA)
Boston Project Mission - Teen Mental Health Ambassador Program (Dorchester, MA)
Bib Pickup
Get your bib number, hat, and other goodies (and avoid the line on race day) on Saturday, December 3, from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Marathon Sports in Wellesley and enjoy 20% off in the store while you're there!

Bibs will also be available Sunday, December 4th beginning at 11:30am at Highrock MetroWest at the registration table.
Parking
Parking is available in the parking lot at 754 Greendale Ave. and along Greendale Avenue south of the building.
Prizes
Prizes for best in age groups by gender and largest team.
The first 200 participants will receive a coveted Jog for Joy hat designed especially for us by BOCO Gear.
PARTY
After the Jog, stick around for awards, hot chocolate, pictures with Santa, live music, and more!
