SPIER FAMILY KINDNESS FOR KIDS 5K & KIDS RUN + FAMILY DAY
Date: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2026
Location: Hockomock Area YMCA - Invensys Foxboro Branch, 67 Mechanic St. Foxborough, Massachusetts 02035
Join us for a great race and family day! Our excellent 5K race will kick off the Hockomock Y’s Spier Family Kindness for Kids Family Day. What a better way to encourage healthy patterns for the young ones in your life than this: a) arrive early and run or walk the Kindness for Kids 5K, b) check out fun, interactive and educational vendor booths, and then c) cheer on kids who take on the fun run!
Sponsored by the Spier Family and in support of Hockomock Area YMCA Food Access Initiative, the annual 5K that hundreds have come to love (formerly called The Foxboro 5K) will be returning to its original site at the Hockomock Area YMCA-Invensys Foxboro Branch! 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.
