Southcoast Health Cancer Care Nicole Podkowa 5k Walk & Run
The Southcoast Health Cancer Care Nicole Podkowa 5k Walk & Run is an annual community event entering its ninth year in 2026. The event takes place in Fairhaven and offers participants the choice to complete the distance in person or virtually.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Southcoast Health Nicole Podkowa Patient & Caregiver Fund. This fund is dedicated to supporting patients receiving treatment at Southcoast Health Cancer Care, as well as their families. The resources help cover essential non-medical expenses such as utility payments, food, housing, transportation, and cancer-related supplies, allowing families to focus on patient recovery.
The event features the following participation options:
- 5 km run or walk
- Kid's Dash for children ages 8 and under
In addition to the main biological distances, the event organizes a specialized short-distance dash for younger children. Participants can register as individuals or take part in peer-to-peer fundraising. The organizers also seek assistance from community committee members and volunteers to support the execution of the day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
