From the Organizer
Join us for our 2nd Annual Pack the Pantry 5K & 1-Mile Walk on November 8th, 2026!
Lace up your sneakers and join us for our 2nd annual Pack the Pantry 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk on Sunday, November 8th at 1pm —a fun, family-friendly event benefiting the Berlin Family Food Pantry!
Last year the Pantry raised almost $10,000 to continue to support our community. We are hoping to beat that this year! Every registration, every donation, and every step taken helps us meet the ever growing need to fight food insecurity.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a casual walker, you’ll enjoy a scenic route through our small town, high-energy volunteers, and a celebration at the finish line. Bring your family, your friends, and your love for Berlin—it’s a great way to get moving and give back.
This race is "Pay What You Can"; no one should feel like they can't participate due to funds. See all pricing options below. Children 3 and under are free. Runners and walkers who pay the full registration fee of $35 (or more) for adults and $22 (or more) for children get a free t-shirt! Can't pay anything? Just show up and join us!
Last day to register to be guaranteed a t-shirt is October 25th, 2026.
Let’s come together to make sure no one in Berlin goes hungry.
Run. Walk. Give. Pack the Pantry.
