Sullivan 5K Run/Walk - Sullivan 5k Run/Walk

Watch this space for the 2025 race details

Founded in 1989 by Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services from 1989-1993, the Sullivan Run/Walk for Health and Fitness is a great end-of-summer event for the whole family.

Racers of all ages compete on the US Track and Field Association certified 5K course around East Chop Bluff with a spectacular view of Nantucket Sound. Based on feedback from the 2023 race, we moved up the start of the race to 9:30 am and had runners and walkers leave at the same time. Kids 10 and participate in the Kids Dash at 9 am.

Commemorative T-shirts are distributed to the first 300 registered race participants. Strollers and well-behaved leashed animals are permitted; however, we ask that they remain at the “back of the pack” and practice extreme caution during the race.

So, lace up your sneakers and please join us in August!
