From the Organizer
Every mile makes a difference.
Join us on October 11, 2026, at the beautiful Ashley Reservoir in Holyoke, MA, for the Race for Goals 5K & 1.5-Mile Walk. This community event supports the Paper City Knights girls' soccer team as they work toward a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete in the Disney International Cup in Orlando, Florida, in July 2027.
For many of these young athletes, this will be their first opportunity to travel and compete on an international stage, representing not only their team but also the City of Holyoke.
Whether you run, walk, sponsor, or cheer from the sidelines, your support helps make that dream a reality. Together, we can invest in our youth, strengthen our community, and help these athletes create memories and opportunities that will last a lifetime.
