Friends of the Poor 5K

Friends of the Poor 5K is a community running and walking event held in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, at the New Ipswich Congregational Church (156 Main St). The weekend race offers two 5K options: a RUN and a WALK. The course is described as scenic, with fall foliage colors peaking, making it a family-friendly outdoor event for all ages.

All proceeds benefit the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to help feed local families in need. Perks include a premium long-sleeve wicking shirt for runners who register two weeks early and a free T-shirt for walkers.

After-race raffles and sponsor pledges provide extra support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
