Captain Gerald F. DeConto USN Memorial Scholarship 5K

Thank you to our past participants and welcome to those of you who are new to our race and scholarship fund!  Our annual 5k Run & Walk supports the Captain Gerald F. DeConto Memorial Scholarship Fund. Captain DeConto, a Sandwich MA native, was killed during the 9/11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon. Thanks to your generosity we have been proudly awarding scholarships in Captain DeConto’s memory since 2002.

The 5k starts with a brief memorial tribute at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday September 22, 2024 at Stop & Shop Plaza 65 Rt 6A in Sandwich, MA. The course is a scenic 3.1 mile route around the Sandwich Marina and beach area finishing back at the Stop & Shop Plaza. Runners and walkers are welcome. Runners will leave the starting line first with official timing by Spitler Race Systems of Pawtucket RI. Virtual option also available.
