Women's Fund SouthCoast 16th Annual Mother's Day 5K Walk & Run
Celebrate Mother’s Day with purpose.
Join more than 1,000 runners, walkers, families, and community members for a joyful community celebration in support of women, families, and gender equity across the SouthCoast.
We’re excited to welcome you to the 16th Annual Women’s Fund SouthCoast Mother’s Day 5K Walk & Run, taking place at Cisco Brewers New Bedford on Sunday, May 10 at 10:00 AM with a kids dash at 9:30am.
What began over a decade ago as a volunteer-inspired road race has grown into our largest annual community event—bringing people together across generations to move, connect, and give back. Proceeds from the Mother’s Day 5K fuel our mission to advance gender, racial, and economic justice through research, grantmaking and advocacy throughout the region.
