Soldier On 5K Sunday in Pittsfield

Community submission
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Soldier On and the Berkshire Running Foundation will host the inaugural Soldier On 5K Walk/Run Sunday, Nov. 10 at the First Street Common in Pittsfield at 9 a.m.
 
This event will help support the mission at Soldier On. Soldier On is a private nonprofit organization committed to ending veteran homelessness. Since 1994, the organization has been providing homeless veterans with transitional housing and supportive services.
 
In 2010, Soldier On opened the first Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Community, a permanent housing cooperative that provides formerly homeless veterans with safe, sustainable, affordable housing – transitioning them from homelessness to homeownership. This housing model will be replicated nationally as Soldier On continues to change the end of the story for homeless veterans throughout the country.
 
 “Soldier On is excited to collaborate with Berkshire Running Foundation, as they host the first annual Veterans Day 5K run/walk this weekend,” Soldier On President and CEO Bruce Buckley said. “The event will support the many at-risk veterans that Soldier On serves. These events not only provide financial support for our veterans, but it creates a larger community of support that lasts far beyond the day of the 5K.”
 
Registration for the event can be done online until Friday, at 5PM by logging onto https://www.zippy-reg.com/online_reg/index.php?e=2049 and all the event details can be found on the www.berkshirerun.org website. Walkers and runners will receive a long sleeve technical running shirt and post race breakfast sandwiches provided by Biggin’s Diggins.
 
Bib pick up and in store registration will be at Berkshire Running Center on Saturday, Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers are needed to help with this event, please contact Shiobbean Lemme at director@berkshirerun.org.
