Give 'Em the Bird 5k Run / 2K Walk (12th Annual)
The event is a community 5K run and a 2K walk held on 11/26/2026 at Millside Park in Easthampton, Massachusetts to benefit the Easthampton Community Center. The organizer reports that last year the event raised $40,000 to support warm meals for families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. The event is listed as sold out and will take place rain or shine.
Course details: the 5K follows a flat to rolling route past mills and fields, starting and finishing at Millside Park. About half the course is on a rail trail closed to traffic and half is on rural roads that are open to traffic. The course will be well marked and staffed by volunteers, with one aid station located near mile 2. The 2K walk also starts and finishes at Millside Park, follows the bike path south toward Union Street, and turns around before Union Street.
