Miles for Mary 2026

Miles for Mary is a 5K run and walk at Devereux Beach in Marblehead, Massachusetts, supporting brain cancer research. This race is one of two annual events honoring Mary Park's memory, the other being a research seminar focused on advancements in brain cancer treatment. Mary Park died from glioblastoma. The race series directs all funds raised to brain cancer research, including work at Mass General Cancer Center. The seminar provides an educational component, with physicians like Elizabeth Gerstner and Michael W. Parsons presenting research updates, and the race offers a straightforward way for local participants to contribute to that cause.
