Prepare to lace up for the 35th Annual Raynham Knights of Columbus Charity 5 Miler, a beloved "true South Shore tradition" returning on Sunday, March 8, 2026, in Raynham, MA. This classic event offers runners the choice of a USATF-certified 5-mile race or a 3.4-mile untimed walk, bringing together participants of all paces for a great cause and an even better community atmosphere. Runners can expect typical race day conditions to feature highs around 44°F and lows near 25°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation.

The 5-mile course is renowned as a flat and fast residential route, offering an excellent opportunity for personal bests or simply an enjoyable journey through the charming streets of Raynham. For your convenience and safety, a water station will be available at the 3.1-mile mark, with additional refreshments awaiting you at the finish line.

What truly sets this race apart is the vibrant post-race celebration. Participants are treated to a warm, complimentary pancake breakfast served by the Knights of Columbus, creating a memorable and welcoming community vibe. Additionally, runners can often enjoy the special perk of free massage therapy from a sports massage therapist, ensuring a well-deserved recovery after your effort. Join this long-standing tradition for a day of fitness, fellowship, and fundraising in support of charitable initiatives.
