24th ANNUAL NAACP GEORGE V. TANKARD, JR. MEMORIAL 5K Run/Walk AND 1 MILE FUN RUN

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for an invigorating 5K race with stunning views around Oak Bluffs harbor and the scenic East Chop, all set to the backdrop of the tranquil Vineyard Sound! This isn't just any race; it's a day filled with fun for the whole family, featuring a 1 mile children's fun run specifically for the young ones aged 12 and under. But here's the best part: as you enjoy the beauty of the course and the thrill of the race, you'll be making a difference too. Every step you take helps raise funds for the local NAACP chapter's scholarship program, aiding students from both the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School and the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School. Join us for an event where your participation means progress – for you, for the kids, and for education!
