DANVERS — Northeast Arc, a not-for-profit organization that helps children and adults with, or at risk for developing, disabilities become full participants in the community, will hold its Run 4 InKlusion and Family Fun Fest on September 25, 2022, at Market Street Lynnfield.

“That is not a typo,” said Jo Ann Simons, President and CEO of Northeast Arc. “Everyone has a 5K, so we are going to have a 4K,” Jo Ann Simons. “Our Run for 4 InKlusion is a shorter run which makes it easier for more people to participate. For those who don’t want to run, we will also offer a 1-mile course that people can walk or roll. Northeast Arc is all about inclusion and this event mirrors our efforts.”

Registration for the Run 4 InKlusion begins at 7:30 a.m. on September 25, with the run/walk starting at 9:00 a.m. The Family Fun Fest part of the event which will run from 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. and include balloon art, bubbles, face painting and more. Attendees will also enjoy music, swag, and samples from some of the businesses at Market Street.
