Get ready to run with the Reading Lions Club and The Friends of Reading Recreation! The Journey for Sight, our annual charity 5K Road Race and 1 Mile Walk will take place Thursday evening July 16th at 6:30 PM, beginning and ending at Memorial Park on Harrison Street. 

All proceeds from the race will be donated to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund (MLERF) and other vision-related charities which finance basic eye research at world-renowned institutions such as the Mass. Eye and Ear in Boston. The Reading Lions Club has donated over $350,000 from the proceeds of this race to eye research, and we are excited to continue these efforts in conjunction with the Friends of Reading Recreation (FORR). 

T-Shirts will be given out to the first 250 entrants, and awards will be presented to the overall 5K Male, Female and Non-Binary winners, as well as the top 3 Male, Female and Non-Binary finishers in each of the following age categories: 15 and under, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80+.
