Syrup Stampede
The Syrup Stampede is a community running and walking event held at Look Park in Florence, Massachusetts. The event supports Empty Arms Bereavement, an organization based in Massachusetts that provides resources and community support for families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, early infant death, or termination for medical reasons.
Participants can choose between two main outdoor activities:
- 5K race
- 2K fun run/walk
Registration is open to all ages, with specific pricing tiers for adults, youth aged 11-17, and children aged 10 and under. The event also features a pancake breakfast, which is provided at no additional cost for all registered runners and walkers. Non-participants may also attend the breakfast by purchasing a separate ticket. In addition to the athletic events, the gathering includes various kids activities within the park.
The event relies on community support through sponsorships and neighborhood volunteers who assist with tasks such as hanging flyers, event setup, cleanup, and staffing water stations. The proceeds from the registration fees and donations go toward helping grieving parents navigate life after the loss of a child through professional collaborations and peer connection.
