Gem of the Highlands 5K

As a registered 501(c)(3), our mission is to build community by bringing together residents who are proud to call Norwood home while giving back and improving the neighborhood.

The Gem of the Highlands 5K is a celebration of everything that makes Norwood a true gem! Join your neighbors on November 5, 2022 to run or walk through some of our favorite streets in the beautiful presidential district of Norwood. 100% of proceeds will always go back to municipal needs and initiatives that benefit the community, with a focus on Norwood parks. Gem of the Highlands 5K has donated more than $47,000 in race proceeds to improve Norwood.
