2026 Chase the Butterfly Family 5K Road Race and Kids Fun Run

Run for a Reason: Your Support Makes the Difference

Run for a reason. The Y is dedicated to ensuring everyone has access to our programming and services, from life-saving swim safety to youth development and childcare. Your registration supports this essential mission, ensuring we can continue to help those in our community who need the Y most.

This year, your impact goes even further. We are proud to collaborate with the CureCMT4J Foundation for the Chase the Butterfly 5K. CureCMT4J is an Ipswich-based nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for an extremely rare, deadly neurological disease similar to ALS.

Get your running shoes ready! Join us at New England Biolabs to run or walk in support of our community and local heroes like Talia Duff. It’s more than a race—it’s a chance to strengthen our community bonds and fund a life-saving mission. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!
