Join us for the 4th Annual LexGiving 5k Run/Walk - Now on Thanksgiving Morning, with a new, family-friendlier course! The LexGiving team is excited to continue its mission to bring community together, on a new course with a few less hills! The event will now take place on Thanksgiving, the most popular day in America for a 5k walk/run. It's a great opportunity to connect with friends and family, and make new friends, as you stretch those legs, and move your body before enjoying all the other wonderful things that Thanksgiving has to offer. As we have the past 3 years, we'll have a DJ, race photographer, and after the race will hold a prize sweepstakes giveaway in addition to our awards ceremony.  LexGiving Restaurant Night: Join us on Wednesday, October 14! Fiorella's in both Lexington & Concord will donate 15% of your order to the LexGiving 5K. Dine in, call, or order online.
