Outrun Hunger 5K race - and 1-mile fun walk

🏃‍♀️ Join the Race

Join Rachel’s Table of Western Massachusetts to outrun hunger! This year’s 5K race and 1-mile fun walk helps us to race to fill the bowls of those in need! Funds go directly to programs that feed people in Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin Counties. Those programs include:

• 925,000+ pounds: Donated and delivered food annually.
• Purchased and gleaned: Ensuring ample food availability.
• Growing Gardens program: Mentoring those impacted by food insecurity.
• Goal: Nourish Western MA - one delivery, one glean, one garden at a time.

👟 Participate

Your participation in this race or walk, in person in Forest Park (parking in the park itself is $3, volunteers will be reimbursed) or virtually, makes the difference, truly, whether our neighbors are fed or not. Please run or walk, invite your friends, create a team, enjoy the day.

💰 Fundraising Efforts

You can also REALLY help us by peer-to-peer fundraising - asking friends and family, near and far, to support your race or walk. Help us raise funds beyond your registration by donating to RTWM! The link to create your fundraising page is on the top of this page – called “Become a Fundraiser” or you will have an option to become a fundraiser when you register. If you register to run or walk and raise $100 or above as part of your fundraising efforts, you will be refunded $25! See details below.
