From the organizer

We are very excited to host our fourth annual "Bulfinch Bee Run" on May 2, 2026!  The name is inspired by the huge colony of bees that was discovered and rescued from our bell tower in 2011 during renovation. This will be a 5k community fun run/walk/roll (costumes highly encouraged!) in the neighborhood of Lancaster's historic Bulfinch Meetinghouse. It will conclude on the lawn with food, beer, prizes, live music and more! The proceeds this year will offset our costs for our Community programming and building maintenance.
