Event Details
Sponsored by the Spier Family and in support of Hockomock Area YMCA Food Access Initiative, the annual 5K that hundreds have come to love (formerly called The Foxboro 5K) will be returning to its original site at the Hockomock Area YMCA-Invensys Foxboro Branch!
Community Impact
Food insecurity is a growing concern in the region and, to address this, the Hockomock Y provides free food and meals with no questions asked. This course and the entire morning of activities will make memories for years to come for all ages and abilities. All proceeds will go to feeding our community.
