The Great Futures 5K is our “Signature Event”, the only annual fundraiser for The Boys & Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster. This year, we celebrate our 12th annual event.

Great Futures 5K is a community event that attracts all levels of runners and walkers of all ages. Entrants throughout the Central Mass region and beyond can participate in our Virtual 5K. It is a celebration of health and fitness.

A virtual race is a race that can be run/walked from any location you choose. On your own street, on a trail, the treadmill, at the gym, or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. Once you complete your run or walk, tell us! Let us know how you did on this site and post it on your social media. Medals will be awarded for the fastest individual and Corporate teams!
Special Announcement!
The Clementi Family Charitable Trust has issued a generous special challenge to our 5K sponsors, donors, and run/walk participants!

To make a statement for the benefit of our Club members, this generous donor will match all funds raised, up to $20,000! Help us, your local Clubhouse, be able to beat last year's fundraising total by attaining this match. We can only do this with your help!
Event sponsorship, registration for runners, walkers, teams, and Corporate Cup Teams can all be done on our new 5K website by clicking the logo to the left. 

Set a fundraising goal when you register!
 
Ask people to sponsor you and/or your team! Everyone and every team can! Earn medals for different activities. Stream and create videos for your pages.
Have some fun with it!
Event Sponsorship Levels:

  • Gold-$5,000
  • Silver-$3,000
  • Bronze-$1,500

All Event sponsors receive Corporate Cup team registration, your company's logo and URL on our 5K website, as well as the logo on our T-shirts and other publicity.

If you would like to make a donation but not participate, you can do that as well. Click here: DONATE > drop-down menu >"Make a General Donation". Please share this option with others!

We hope virtual races will not be the new normal. I will miss getting together, seeing you, and sharing in the barbecue and the music!
Share this event so that every Club member has a chance at a Great Future!
