Feaster Five Road Race

03/31/2026

The Feaster Five is proud to make this contribution to the town of Andover!

Last night, the Select Board accepted a $7,500 donation on behalf of the Town from the Merrimack Valley Striders to support the installation of a new public water fountain and bottle filling station at Lower Shawsheen Field.

The funds were raised through the Feaster Five Road Race, the region’s largest Thanksgiving turkey trot, which brings thousands of runners and spectators to Andover each year.

The Town thanks the Merrimack Valley Striders for their generosity and for helping to bring a new amenity to Lower Shawsheen Field that will benefit residents and visitors alike.

We are so proud of our friends at Bellesini Academy! A group of 32 students joined the school’s new running club this fall and ran their first 5k race at the Feaster Five! This is what our race is all about- community health and wellness and taking on a challenge together. Way to go Bellesini!!

LAWRENCE – Aliali “Ali” Silverio Belkus has always said she believed that an earnest commitment to running develops three essential personal traits: discipline, health and self-esteem.
