  Your donation helps fund the programs and services we provide for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, hunger, or economic hardship. NSKS has achieved a lot in our 45 years of serving the greater Nashua area. In addition to our twice daily meals, our food pantry, our Backpacks for Back to School program, and our Meals for Kids program (frozen meals for dinner at home, distributed through the schools), in December 2022 we opened our new emergency shelter at 35 Spring Street, which has more than doubled our capacity to provide shelter, with a particular impact on families with children.

  We look forward to welcoming competitive and recreational runners and walkers to our annual fundraiser!

  Run or walk in support of Mental Health Awareness!

  On Saturday, May 16, 2026, we invite you to join us at Greeley Park in Nashua, NH for a 5K/1K Run/Walk that puts mental health at the center of our community. Thrive Stride brings together runners, walkers, families, and advocates who believe that mental health care should be accessible, compassionate, and stigma-free. Please note that this year we have added a virtual event for those who can't join us in person on May 16!

  At Greater Nashua Mental Health, we walk alongside children, adults, and families navigating mental illness and substance use challenges, often during the most difficult moments of their lives. When you register for Thrive Stride, you help fund critical services, create pathways to care, and send a powerful message: mental health matters, and help should never feel out of reach for anyone.

  This event is for everyone. Move at your own pace. Walk with purpose. Run with intention. Start a team fundraiser. Celebrate resilience, honor loved ones, and stand with those who may not yet have the strength to stand alone.

  Your stride creates impact.

  Your presence creates hope.

  Your participation helps our community and our programs thrive.

  Who will you show up for on race day?

  Our Race Store is now open!

  Course:

  New England's premier downhill 5K race. The course drops 224 feet from start to finish. This USATF certified 5K course begins at the Hollis-Brookline Middle School in Hollis, New Hampshire. The gradual downhill course travels through beautiful apple orchards, corn fields and vegetable farms, finishing at the junction of Depot Rd. and Rt. 111. The course lends itself to people running a personal best time and for first time racers represents a very runner friendly course. Running Times Magazine listed this route as one of the top three fastest race courses in the USA. The Wall Street Journal posted an article about this unique race. New England Runner magazine named this race as their Race of the Year for 2018.

  Route: The race will start at the Hollis-Brookline Middle School north entrance road. The course will continue across Main Street (NH 122) into Monument Square, before descending south on Depot Road for 3 miles before ending at Morin's Landscaping parking lot. [Garmin]

  Start Line: Hollis-Brookline Middle School. 25 Main St, Hollis, NH. [Google Maps]

  Finish Line: Morin's Landscaping Parking Lot. 301 Depot Rd, Hollis, NH. [Google Maps]

  Team Competition and Individual Rewards:

  There will be awards for top finishers in both male and female racers in multiple age groups. The top non-binary finisher will also receive an award. These will all be distributed immediately following the race at Alpine Grove. No awards will be mailed. Unclaimed awards can be collected at Fleet Feet Sports (4 Coliseum Ave, Nashua, NH: Google Maps) for one week (through Sunday, June 21).

  There will also be a non-timed team competition. A unique trophy and bragging rights will be given to the team/group that has the most members sign up for the race. This is not an award for the fastest team, but rather the largest. To join a team, simply select your team at registration. If your team has not yet been created, select "Create New Group/Team" and make a new team name. Your team must be declared prior to race day.

  If you are having trouble signing up for a team, please feel free to contact us!
