About Run Club of Malden Run Club of Malden’s mission is to combine camaraderie, running and community service in a fun and welcoming environment. We believe diversity makes the world and the sport of running more interesting; that if you run, you are a runner; that runners at different experience and pace levels learn from one another; that we have a responsibility to give back to the communities whose paths we frequent; and that there is nothing more fun than logging miles with friends. We're committed to making the sport of running inclusive, welcoming and accessible to all.

Built in 1896 as a meeting hall for Pembroke Civil War Veterans, the Grand Army of the Republic Hall building continues to serve the citizens of Pembroke as home of the Pembroke Police Boys and Girls Club. Established in 1980 through the leadership of Pembroke Police Chief Willard "Bill" Boulter and countless hours of many other Pembroke Police Officers and good hearted Citizens, the "Boys Club" has mentored hundreds of young adults in healthy activities such as Boxing, Karate, Weight Lifting and more. Keeping a 120 year old historical landmark in good working order is no easy task. Your registration for our 5K will directly support our ability to continue providing a safe and welcoming space for the Pembroke and greater community's youth to develop and grow.

This will be the 12th Annual Run for Robin 5k. This is a major fundraising event for the Harvey Foundation.

Not only is this race set up to pay tribute to Robin and her beautiful life, but also to raise money for the foundation, including the scholarship award. The Harvey Foundation has been working hard this year growing the organization and outreach here on Nantucket. In the past 11 years we have awarded over $175,000 in scholarship money, to deserving student athletes going on to further their education with the majority of these funds coming as a result of this race.
