Join us for our 33nd Annual Sullivan 5K Run/Walk for Health and Fitness. 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, 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. The race begins and ends at Washington Park at the intersection of New York Avenue and East Chop Drive, in Oak Bluffs
Founded in 1989 by Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services from 1989-1993, the race is a great summer event for the whole family. Kids 10 and under can participate in the Kids Dash and those little ones not yet on their feet can join our crawling competition in the Diaper Derby. The Kid's Dash is 25 meters of fun in Washinton Park, before the 5K kicks off. The race is also a fundraiser for the Martha's Vineyard Hospital.
