We very excited to be able to hold the 12th Annual Community 5K run/walk (2K walk) to benefit the Easthampton Community Center this year! !.
The money raised by this event has ensured that hundreds of families will have a warm meal during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Last year's event with your help and the help from our sponsors we raised $40,000 and we hope to raise the same or more again this year.
THIS EVENT IS RAIN OR SHINE!
The 5K run/walk course is a flat to rolling route past the mills and fields of Easthampton, starting and finishing at Millside Park. A course map can be found posted on the main page.
