This is a celebration of everything that makes Norwood a true gem! Join your neighbors on November 1, 2025 to run or walk through some of our favorite streets in the beautiful presidential district of Norwood. Sponsorships help fund the race, along with improvements across Norwood Park System. To date, we've donated nearly $90K and hope to raise over $50K this year to increase community impact. 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 first project was $16,000 to the basketball court restoration at Waterworks Park.
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.
