30th YEAR OF LEXINGTON’S TOP CHARITY RACE, GENESISHR BATTLEGREEN RUN, TO BE HELD ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd

The Battlegreen Run Foundation Inc (https://www.battlegreenrunfoun...) is excited to announce the 30th running of the GenesisHR Battlegreen Run taking place on Sunday, November 2, 2025 in Lexington, MA. Devoted to assisting non-profits in raising funds needed to sustain their missions, the Battlegreen Run Foundation’s annual race has become a local tradition for families and organizations to come together and support multiple charity partners and is growing every year with over 1,200 runners in the 2024 event.

The annual Kids Fun Run, 5K run or walk, and 10K road race brings together non-profits, where each team or individual can raise money for their own charity. Hosted by Boston’s Sports station 98.5, Todd Angilly, the official Anthem Singer of the Boston Bruins, will send the runners along their way with a stirring rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, accompanied by musket fire, courtesy of the Lexington Minute Men. Racers can choose between 10K or 5K race, 5K Walk, 1.25m Walk and Kids Fun Run and enjoy a day filled with before and after festivities including snacks and food, giveaways, kids and family activities. For those that cannot make it to Lexington on race day, Virtual options are available.

“As we head into 2025, we’re proud to have raised over $1.2 million for our non-profit partners since we started the race. To celebrate the 30th running, we’re excited to be giving a 30th Anniversary Commemorative Medal to all in-person participants,” says Bob Burbidge, Battlegreen Run Foundation Board Member. “Each year, we strive to grow our impact, welcome new and returning partners, and are grateful to the sponsors who continue to invest in our community.”

Non-profit partners, such as Lexington Youth Counseling, The Little Smiles, Colin Joy Project, Rawkstars, Supportive Living and many others have participated over the years as a way to fundraise in a group setting. Non-profits can register as a team where members manage a personal fundraising page and can solicit donations from friends and family. 100 percent of registration fees and donations go directly to charity partners.
