Miles for Mary

About the Event

The Miles for Mary 5K Run and Walk began in 2013 to honor the memory of Mary Park and a growing number of other beloved members of our community. It also serves as a fundraiser for brain cancer research while raising awareness in a scenic and fun setting.

This year, we are observing the 14th series of Miles for Mary, which has raised over $850,000.

Community education leads to greater awareness of brain cancer and the importance of raising funds for more effective treatments.

About Marblehead

Learn more about the host city, Marblehead.

Marblehead is a scenic coastal town in the North Shore region of Massachusetts. This town of 20k has mostly retained its 18th century layout and is the perfect place to explore "old" New England. Additionally, many tourists skip Marblehead for the much more popular Salem, so you're likely to have a more personal experience here.
