Southcoast Health hosts an annual 5K Walk & Run in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, at the Southcoast Health Cancer Center campus (206 Mill Road). The event offers four options: an in-person 5K Run, an in-person 5K Walk, a Virtual 5K Walk & Run, and a Kids Run. Proceeds support a cancer patient and caregiver fund at Southcoast Health Cancer Centers, helping families with utilities, food, housing, transportation, and cancer-related supplies.

The race is cup-free to reduce waste, with water-filling stations at the staging area and along the course; participants must bring their own cup or bottle. Dogs are not permitted. Volunteers and fundraisers are welcome. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
