The Williamstown Community Chest Fun Run, sponsored by MountainOne, is a family-friendly community-centric event. Both the 5K and 1 mile Walk/Run are open to everyone, veteran or first-time runners, as well as daily or occasional walkers. Families with pets and strollers are also welcome to join the fun. Both race events begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at the Williamstown Youth Center, 66 School Street. On-site registration begins at 8:15 a.m.
The cost for the 5K race is $15.00 per runner and for the 1 mile Walk/Run $5.00 per participant; children age 5 and under may participate at no charge. Scholarships are available.
For 99 years, the Williamstown Community Chest has provided funding to local human service agencies and organizations that serve the northern Berkshire area. The generosity of people, businesses, and organizations throughout our community makes this possible.
