The fourth annual Medford Fit for Life Road Race and Walk will be held on Sunday, October 3, in honor of Medford DARE Officer Patrick Fahey.

The race starts at 10AM and will begin and end in behind the McGlynn School. Participants are invited to walk or run a route around MacDonald Park. The route will be slightly less than a 5K (3.1 miles).

All proceeds of the event will be donated in loving memory of Officer Fahey and will help deserving young children attend summer camp.

Officer Fahey served on the Medford Park Police and Special Police before being appointed to the Medford Police Department in 1997. Officer Fahey received the DARE “Officer of the Year” award in 2005.

The race is organized by School Committee member Ann Marie Cugno, City Councilor Breanna Lungo-Koehn, and Medford Public Schools staff Kristin Howell, Jack Dempsey, and Allison Goldsberry.

Several local sponsors are providing prizes and refreshments, including Raso’s Grille and Pizzeria and John Brewer’s Tavern. The event is also held in cooperation with Linda Fahey, Medford High School, Athletic Director Bob Maloney, Medford Department of Public Works, Medford Police, and Medford Fire.
