Spier Family 5K & Family Day
Join us for a great race and family day!
Sponsored by the Spier Family and in support of our Hockomock Area YMCA Food Access Initiative, the annual 5K that hundreds have come to love (formerly called The Foxboro 5K) returns to our Invensys Foxboro Branch. Join us!
Food insecurity is a growing concern in the region and, to address this, the Hockomock Y provides free food and meals with no questions asked.
This course and the entire morning of activities will make memories for years to come for all ages and abilities. All proceeds will go to feeding our community.
