West Island 5K - Fairhaven, Massachusetts
The West Island 5K is a community road event scheduled for Sunday, April 25, 2027. The program includes a 5K Run/Walk and a separate Kids Mile Fun Run. Strollers are allowed and the event is described as family friendly.
The 5K is a loop course on West Island with a quick downhill start and an uphill finish. The route runs through scenic island streets. The Kids Mile has a different format for younger participants and each child receives a special gift instead of a race shirt to help keep registration affordable.
Distances:
- 5K Run/Walk
- Kids Mile Fun Run
Proceeds from the event support the Fairhaven High School cross country program, the West Island Improvement Association scholarship fund, and Strive and Achieve. Parking is available at Hoppy’s Landing and on West Island side streets; participants are asked to park on the street rather than on private property. Local sponsors and donors provide financial and in kind support for the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
