Alianza 5K: Cider Donut Dash
The Alianza 5K: Cider Donut Dash is a community run and walk on September 26 at Ashley Reservoir and the Elks Club in Holyoke, MA. The event combines a timed 5K and a shorter fun walk with a post-event celebration featuring cider donuts, fresh apple cider, music, and opportunities for community connection.
Held just ahead of October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the event aims to raise awareness and support survivors. Proceeds support Alianza DV Services, whose programs provide free and confidential advocacy, shelter, prevention, and support services to survivors of domestic violence and their families throughout the region.
