Malden’s 1st Annual Half Marathon & 5 Mile

Running, Beer, Gear, and Block Parties

Malden, MA – The spring racing season kicks off with the 1st Annual Malden Half Marathon & 5
Mile sponsored by C5K Sports and Malden Rotary Club. On Sunday, March 10, 2019 the half
marathon will begin at 7:00 am in Downtown Malden at 68 Exchange Street, while the 5 mile
starts at 8:00 am. The race will be followed by a festive block party with Malden’s very own Idle
Hands Craft Ales.

This event helps support the Wounded Warrior Project and the Malden Rotary Scholarship
Fund. The event is currently accepting volunteers. “This is our opportunity to bring Malden and
all surrounding communities together to create a tradition that is much bigger than us,” said
Ronnie Puzon, president of the Malden Rotary Club. “I can’t wait to see the turnout of this
event.” Half marathon participant, Eric Delafraz said, “The race gives runners motivation to
push themselves while also having fun with friends.”

Every participant receives a running jacket and a finisher medal. Runners are able to create
teams. All teams with 25+ runners registered before March 1 st will receive a reserved tent at
the block party plus a team supply of beer and cider. For more information and to register or

C5K Sports is the organizer of the Malden Half & 5 Mile. We organize festive races that are
sponsored by Boston’s best brewers. Past successes have included events such as Yulefest and
the Cambridge 5K.
