Abby's House Hybrid 5K Run/Walk
Abby's House stages a hybrid 5K run/walk on October 17, 2026, with both an in-person race and virtual participation options, including a virtual pet entry. The in-person course is certified and chip timed and runs near the Wachusett Reservoir, featuring scenic views and gentle rolling hills. The event explicitly prohibits pets at the in-person course.
Proceeds benefit Abby's House, a nonprofit that provides safe shelter, affordable housing, advocacy services, and support for women with or without children.
Registration and fees vary by entry type and timing. In-person adult early registration is $30 and youth (17 and under) $25; regular registration in October is $35 for adults and $30 for youth; late registration is $45. Virtual entries are listed at $25 for the virtual 5K and $5 for the virtual pet. Virtual registrants are not eligible to participate in the in-person race. Virtual registration remains open through October 17.
In-person bib pickup and in-person registration are handled at Abby's House, 52 High Street, Worcester, on Thursday, October 15, and on race day at the designated race location in West Boylston. Bib pickup on October 15 is recommended to reduce lines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
