Nicole Podkowa 5K

The Southcoast Health Nicole Podkowa 5K Walk & Run is an annual event held in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, at the Southcoast Health Cancer Center. Scheduled for October 5, 2025, this event offers multiple participation options including an in-person 5K run, 5K walk, a virtual 5K walk/run, and a kid's run for children aged 8 and under. The course features water-filling stations but is a cup-free event to reduce environmental impact, so participants must bring their own bottles.

Proceeds support the Nicole Podkowa Cancer Patient and Caregiver Fund, aiding local cancer patients and families with essential needs. The event fosters community involvement through fundraising and volunteer opportunities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
