Waltham Strides For Education 5K Hits The City This Weekend

WALTHAM, MA — The annual Strides For Education 5K is set to take over Waltham on Sunday.

As a result, there will be no access to the Moody Street bridge between Carter and Pine Streets from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., police said. Residents of 174 and 190 Moody Street will have access from the railroad track side, and the gated entrance on the Elm Street side.

The race benefits the Waltham Education and Beyond Foundation. The 5K starts and finishes on the bridge, beginning at noon.

A Kids 1K race will start at the Shoppers Café, 731 Moody St., and finish on the bridge. That race begins at 11 a.m.

There will be "No Parking" restrictions in place on the day of the race on both sides of Moody Street between Pine Street and Carter Street, and on Moody Street southbound between Crescent Street and Maple Street.

The parking restrictions will be lifted once the race has ended.

Between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., there will be no access to Moody Street from side streets off the southbound lane of Moody Street.

Race volunteers will be placed along the route, as well as police officers working the detail.
