Held in memory of Danny Cahill, a lifelong Swampscott resident and devoted walker, the Cahill 5K celebrates his spirit of perseverance, generosity, and community pride.

All student athletes are invited to register for free, and a $100 cash prize will be awarded to the top male and female student athlete finishers.

“This race is a tribute to Danny Cahill’s legacy and a way for us to give back to the community he loved so much,” said organizer Diane O’Brien. “Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, we hope everyone comes out to be part of this special event.”

The race is open to all ages and experience levels, with proceeds benefiting two vital community programs: The Anchor Food Pantry, providing essential support to local families in need and The Rotary Club Cahill Scholarship, awarded annually to a Swampscott student in honor of Danny’s dedication to education and youth development.

See you on Sunday, May 4, 2025 at 9am at Linscott Park, Swampscott, MA. Registration opens at 7:30am.
