Wayside Youth & Family Support Network 5K4Kids
The Wayside Youth & Family Support Network 5K4Kids is scheduled for October 24, 2026, at Walsh Middle School in Framingham, Massachusetts. The event marks the 17th anniversary of the 5K4Kids run, combining a community 5 kilometer race and a family fun run with a family fair atmosphere.
Participants can expect refreshments and a variety of family activities including face painting, airbrush tattoos, a balloon clown, a bouncy house, lawn games and additional attractions. The event includes a raffle with prizes that include two $1,000 Visa gift cards and three $500 Visa gift cards; raffle tickets are available the morning of the event. The organizer requests that pets remain at home; service dogs are allowed.
Registration opens on April 6, 2026, and closes on October 24, 2026. The listed registration fee is $35.00. Donations, registration fees and raffle ticket sales support Wayside programs that provide emergency food and clothing, diapers and formula, school supplies, holiday gifts, hot meals and warm winter coats, hats and gloves for young people and families in need. The event proceeds are used to support those services. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
