The inaugural Flight 5K on May 9 drew 135 runners from 160 registrants and raised nearly $8,000 for the Waltham Boys & Girls Club, organizers said.

“Thank you to every runner who showed up, every vendor who supported the event, and everyone who helped make the day what it was,” said Jared Collinson, co-owner of Flight Performance & Fitness. “The energy, the community, and the willingness to show up for something bigger than ourselves is exactly what this was about.”
