Event Information
About This Event
On Saturday, May 19th, 2018, the Lisa Kaplan 5K Walk/Run and Kids’ Fun Run will be held in memory of Lisa Kaplan. Lisa was a beloved teacher, friend, colleague, and community member who passed away in November 2015 shortly after being diagnosed with a rare cancer. A Westborough native and a passionate teacher of Spanish in Northborough for twelve years, Lisa touched the lives of hundreds of students with her enthusiasm, energy and joy for her craft. This race honors Lisa and celebrates her love for running.

Proceeds from the race will be donated to the Lisa Kaplan Memorial Fund.
This fund supports the 15-40 Connection, a Westborough, MA based non-profit whose mission is to improve cancer survival rates by teaching people how to detect cancer early.
