Outrun Hunger 5K race – and 1-mile fun walk – Springfield, MA 2026

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 987,000+ pounds of food annually donated and delivered, purchased and gleaned, and our Growing Gardens program, where we mentor and support those most directly impacted by food insecurity to grow their own culturally meaningful and desired food!!! Our goal: Nourish Western MA - one delivery, one glean, one garden at a time. 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. You can also REALLY help us by peer-to-peer fundraising - asking friends and family, near and far, to support your rac
