Why We Care

  • Everyone deserves a warm place to stay, daily meals, and helpful support. Caring through a donation ensures this is a reality for homeless individuals in Fall River, MA. Help the First Step Inn save lives by joining us and caring about the homeless in our community.

Why We Walk

  • Imagine a snowy day, living on the street in the blustery cold without food or money. How would you stay warm, secure a job or obtain services? These are the daily challenges the homeless face. We walk to provide homeless people with food, shelter, and an opportunity to turn their lives around.

  • Walk in the event and collect pledges from people you know.

    Welcome to the Watuppa Trail Races!

    Experience a trail runner’s dream course through the scenic and serene Watuppa Reservation. Whether you are looking to test your endurance or enjoy a fast-paced morning in the woods, our course is designed to highlight the very best of South Coast trail running.

    The Course Experience

    Forget the relentless rock-hopping and jagged technical climbs. The Watuppa course is built for flow and speed, featuring:

    • Fast Grassy Fire Lanes: Wide, open stretches where you can really open up your stride and find your rhythm.

    • Winding Single Track: Smooth, flowing paths that tuck into the forest, offering just enough twist and turn to keep things exciting without slowing you down.

    Choose Your Challenge

    We offer three distinct distances to cater to every level of runner:

    • 50K & 30K: Perfect for those looking to transition into ultra-distances or seasoned vets wanting a fast, runnable course to set a personal best.

    • 10K: A spirited, scenic loop that is perfect for everyone. It offers enough speed for the seasoned trail runner to push their limits, while remaining approachable and fun for new trail runners looking to get off the pavement.

    Why Run Watuppa?

    This event is about more than just the miles; it’s about the community. From our supportive volunteers to the camaraderie at the finish line, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere that celebrates every runner, from the front-runners to the final finishers.

    Lace up, find your flow, and discover why Watuppa is a local favorite.

    The Shirley May France 10K Road Race

    Hosted by the Somerset Economic Development Committee

    Presented by Bank Five - Somerset

    Join us in honoring a true Somerset trailblazer!

    The Somerset Economic Development Committee is proud to host the Shirley May France 10K Road Race, celebrating the legacy of hometown hero Shirley May France. As a determined teenager, Shirley captured national attention with her two courageous attempts to swim the English Channel in 1948 and 1949—coming within just one mile of making history on her second try. Her spirit of perseverance continues to inspire generations.

    This scenic 10K course winds through the heart of Somerset, beginning and ending on historic Riverside Avenue. Runners will loop around Dublin Street, High Street, and South Street, before crossing the finish line at Comfort Zone Grille & Bar, where a lively after-party awaits racers and spectators alike.

    This year we are also offering 5k and 1 mile races along historic Riverside Avenue sporting scenic water views.

    A Race with a Mission: Supporting Local

    Proudly presented by Bank Five, this event is more than a run—it’s a rally for our community. Our 2026 charity of choice is, The Cure Starts Now - Somerset chapter. Led by Ken and Michelle Oheman in honor of their late daughter Selina. The Cure Starts Now raises money for research on pediatric brain cancer. We are proud to help support such a wonderful cause that has had a profound affect on our community. The race is also designed to spotlight and stimulate business for the local establishments that make Somerset shine. Many of our community's beloved staples are just steps from the course, including:

    • Comfort Zone Grille & Bar

    • BankFive

    • St. Anne's Credit Union

    • Somerset Creamery

    • Auclair’s Market

    • Fiesta Mexican Restaurant

    Whether you’re running, cheering, or simply soaking in the day, you’re helping to uplift Somerset’s small businesses and community pride.

    Lace up, show up, and celebrate Somerset’s strength—past and present!
