About
Get ready to lace up your sneakers for a heartwarming and exhilarating day! On Sunday, September 20th, we're gathering at Lt. Ross Park in West Peabody for a meaningful cause—the Inaugural SAK Strong 5K run/walk, 1-mile walk, and youth FUN run, all in honor of Chris Sakelakos, who bravely fought Osteosarcoma until September 16, 2025. This is more than just a race; it's a celebration of courage, community, and memory. After crossing the finish line, stick around for an epic after party featuring the tunes of Beach Nights, an assortment of food trucks, engaging raffles, laid-back lawn games, and craft beer courtesy of East Regiment Beer Company. Every step you take, every cheer you make benefits the SAK Strong Foundation, with 100% of the proceeds helping to continue Chris's legacy. Join us in making strides against cancer and creating unforgettable moments!
