Foxborough YMCA to Host Annual Foxboro 5K & Family Day

On Sunday, September 14 the Invensys Foxboro Branch of the Hockomock Area YMCA will host its 12th annual Foxboro 5K and Family Day at their 67 Mechanic Street location. Registration begins at 9:00 am. The race begins at 10:00am. The route is a flat course through Foxboro, which makes it perfect for all fitness levels. There will be both running and walking divisions, awarding the top three finishers in each running division. A one-mile Kids Fun Run will begin at 9:00 am for children ages four and above, with each youth getting a medal.

5K participants who register before Aug. 31 will receive a dri-fit t-shirt. Kids who register before August 31st will receive a cotton t-shirt. Registration is available at hockymca.org. The cost to participate is $30 per 5K participant and $15 per Fun Run participant. Everyone who signs up will be given a runner bag and bib and their results will be made available from a professional timing company.

The Foxboro 5K & Family Day is a great way for families to support an active lifestyle while giving back to the community. From 10:00 am until noon, the YMCA will offer family activities that include favorite camp games, a D.J., bouncies, face painting, refreshments, and more. The Y wants to get your entire family active and having fun at this event!

The event is sponsored by Bay State Physical Therapy and Santander Bank and is held in loving memory of Linda Cavossa, Michael Baker, and Jackie Thomas. Funds raised will support the Hockomock YMCA’s Reach Out for Youth & Families Campaign to provide anonymous scholarships to families and individuals in our community.

Team LIVESTRONG participants will also raise funds for the Hockomock Y’s 12-week strength and conditioning program for adult cancer survivors deconditioned and fatigued from cancer and/or treatment.
