The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup Run is held at Northampton Municipal Park. The course follows the park’s paved bike path in a competition designed for athletes—no pets or strollers permitted. The event is capped at 500 entrants. All finishers earn a ceramic soup mug, and there are commemorative awards for top performers in each age group. Sweatshirts and additional athletic gear are available for purchase, and athletes can replenish post-race with complimentary soup and sandwiches.
