The first Saturday 5K of 2026 is in the books! It was a chilly one, but that didn’t stop anyone from showing up and getting it done. The 52-Week 5K Series keeps rolling all year long (rain, shine, or frozen toes) so we’ll see you out there next time. 😉 #CentralMassStriders #Saturday5K #52Week5KSeries #Weatherproof

Help us give back, and put on the best Turkey Trot

Help us give back, and put on the best Turkey Trot in Central Mass! We need our amazing CMS Volunteers to help at the Whitin 5.

We have open slots the morning of Thanksgiving for the race itself, and packet pick-up the night before.

It's a really fun race, and there are so many friendly faces to cheer on. Please contact Liz Doyle and Kim Gordon Laska at president@cmsrun.org with questions. We hope to see you there, and thank you so much in advance!

With everything going on in the country right now,

With everything going on in the country right now, it feels more important than ever for our running community to look out for one another. No one in our community—or anywhere—should go hungry.

This month, CMS is running a Food Drive to support Food is Love – a local mutual aid group just a couple miles from our Freezer 5 and Christmas Eve Run routes – that provides regular grocery distributions to families in need.

You can drop off non-perishable, non-expired donations at any CMS group run through November 30th, and we will donate them to Food is Love on a regular basis.
- The Monday Pub Run
- The Wednesday 11mm+ Group Run
- The Sneakerama Fun Run
- The Saturday 5K

Can’t make it to the run or to the store to shop? You can also buy items in need directly from Food is Love’s Amazon wishlist. (I just sent them a bunch of boxes of Cheerios from the list today and it was so easy!)
Scan the QR code in the post for a link.

As a club, we are also donating $1,000 to the Joseph and Leslie Carr Foundation to help supply full holiday meals for local families who need a hand.

If you are in a position where you can donate financially, please consider supporting this amazing organization and their Giving Season project this year: https://jlcarrfoundation.org/donate

Why these organizations? Because we want to make an impact right now, where we run, and both of these organizations have CMS club members involved who are actively doing work to combat hunger. Have more questions? Please give me a shout at president@cmsrun.org

Let’s do what runners do best and show up for our community. Thank you so much in advance 💙
