Race Details

Grab your running shoes and come run or walk at Bay Farm Montessori Academy’s 16th Annual 5k Run by the Bay in loving memory of Royce Whitaker on Saturday, October 22, 2022.

This USATF-sanctioned race begins and ends on the Bay Farm Montessori Academy campus and runs along beautiful Bay Road in Duxbury. You won't want to miss this high-spirited road race celebrating the joy, purpose, and compassion of the Bay Farm community. The Kids' Fun Run, suitable for age groups 2-3, 3-5, and 5 and up will take place before the 5K

Bay Farm is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and as a long-standing member of the Duxbury community, they are excited to bring back this event after a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic. 

Cash prizes will be given to the top three male and female finishers; awards will be given to the top three age group finishers as well as to the fastest family. For our Kids Fun Run, we will be celebrating the fastest boy and girl in the 5 and up category. Snacks and drinks to be provided post-race. 

All proceeds of the Bay Farm 5k Run by the Bay go directly to supporting the innovative programming and hands-on experiences that benefit our current and future Bay Farm students.
