Since its 2022 inauguration, Belmont AAPI Run has become one of three major community road races in Belmont, along with the well-established FBE Apple Run and the Becca Pizzi 5K. The AAPI Run has and will continue raising funds to support various AAPI events hosted by Belmont-based nonprofit organizations, including Belmont Chinese American Association (BCAA) and Belmont Celebrates AAPI Heritage (BCAH). This year, the funds raised from the AAPI Run will also support Belmont Media Center to broadcast Belmont public school events. Please visit BCAA and BCAH websites if you want to learn more about their past and future AAPI events.
