The Hamilton-Wenham Friends of the Arts is excited to host the 28th Annual Melody Miles 5k fun run at Winthrop Elementary School, on Saturday, May 25th at 10am. Our talented student performers look forward to serenading you as you walk, run, hop, skip, or dance your way along our scenic local race route.

Our 5 mile race is also available as a virtual option during the holiday weekend. It is a great way for you to still support the arts AND get a coveted race t-shirt!

We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
