The Battlegreen Run Foundation is an official 501(c)3 charity that organizes an annual road race held in Lexington, MA each fall to fund a number of worthy local charities. Proceeds from the race and related fundraising events are donated to organizations that benefit Lexington and its surrounding communities.
The event has also expanded to include four racing events: the Bob Ludwig Memorial 10k, the Ralph Lord Memorial 5k, the Boston Volvo Family Fun Run, and the Cancer 5k and 1.2m Walks.
31 Years of Running
The very first GenesisHR Battlegreen 10k Run took place on Sunday, November 3, 1996. At the time, it was hoped that the race would generate enough income to raise money for Habitat for Humanity Greater Boston and the Genesis Community Fund which provided scholarships to local students. 30 years later the run has grown to attract more than 1,000 runners and walkers from across the country, and has raised over $1.4 million to support local organizations.
