Hi RAW Series Community
We are excited to announce that we are continuing the RAW Series for 2020!  Special thanks to AFC Urgent Care and Marathon Sports and Health & Safety Services of New England for making this season possible.

We sent out a survey at the end of the 2019 Season and although we received 4.6 out of 5 stars we heard "loud and clear" that all was not perfect.  So, we are returning to the original format to score six of any race in Waltham with the mandatory PBR5K participation. Races include: Shifter's 5K, JB Blastoff, Moody Street 5K, Saint Jude School 5K, Five to Thrive, Waltham Track 1-Mile, Prospect Bandit Run, Mighty Squirrel 4 miler, Shopper's Cafe 5K, Western Greenway 5K Trail and Piggy's.

We started this adventure eight years ago with a simple goal of supporting healthy lifestyles and fostering community involvement in Waltham. Our mission was to give back to the running community by cross promoting Waltham's running events and the local business community.  Unlike other Series, participants could run, walk or volunteer (any combination) to earn prizes and receive an invitation to the end-of-year Awards Night. Neither the individual races nor the runners paid a fee to be part of the RAW Series because it was funded through generous sponsorships by local businesses.
