Thankful 5K Expanding in Ninth Year

Community submission
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Berkshire Running Foundation is eager to kick off the fundraising efforts surrounding the 9th annual MountainOne Thankful 5K to be held on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 28 at 9 a.m. at Berkshire Community College. 
 
This year the Thankful 5K expands to include walkers, virtual participants and a new training program for the community.
 
The annual event is a fundraiser hosted by the Foundation to raise much needed funds for the South Community Food Pantry and the local Fuel Assistance Fund.
 
The first 500 participants who register for the event receive a Thankful hat, with all the proceeds going to the designated causes. More than 400 participants registered for the 2023 event and race producers are hoping to surpass that number this year.
 
Each participant also has the option to create an individual or team fundraising page to raise even more money that will immediately go to help fight food insecurity here in our community.  Prizes will go to those individuals and teams that raise the most in their fundraising efforts.
 
“We are thrilled to be hosting this holiday tradition again with the support of MountainOne,” Berkshire Running Executive Director Shiobbean Lemme said. “Our mission is to improve the neighborhoods in which we live through our running events. This specific 5K has become quite the family tradition for so many in the Berkshires and beyond. It is a great way to be able to provide for those in need on a day where many of us have more than most. We have implemented free student entry to all our events for grades K-12.  This makes these events wallet friendly for families to participate in together. “
 
Walkers are encouraged to join all the Berkshire Running Foundation 5K events as well. In addition to the in-person event, this year participants can also register to run or walk their 5K virtually, submitting results and receiving their own Thankful hats along with their registrations.
