    Welcome to the 2026 Athol Area YMCA's Big Cheese 5K!

    Whether you’ve been with us from our humble beginnings in 2010 or are new to this “Cheesy Experience,” we are so glad to have you as a part of the race.

    The Big Cheese 5K is a blast! You’ll feel accomplished. And most importantly, you’ll know that you’ve done your part to help build programs for others in need.

    This year, we are raising funds to make exciting, much-needed improvements to our facilities, including a gym floor in our Main Street Gym, upgrading and expanding our Orange location, and adding new equipment and Healthy Living programs at both locations. The YMCA is a non-profit organization that partly relies on the community for continued support, which, in turn, can give back to the community by offering supportive, fun, and exciting healthy living activities such as the LiveStrong program (a supportive program to build back strength and spirit for cancer survivors), yoga, childcare, senior citizen exercise programs, swimming lessons, sports, weightlifting and so much more!

    As we gear up for the 2026 race, we are seeking your support. Donations will help offset the event's costs, including SecondWind Timing for a competitive or non-competitive race experience. Not only does this strengthen our event and community, but it also allows all of our race registrations to go directly to the important facility updates and community-strengthening causes we support. Please consider how you can help this year!

    Please consider contributing your tax-deductible donation today by tapping "Donate" below.

    Run or Walk. Eat Pancakes. Feel Good.

    The Syrup Stampede is an annual fundraiser and community celebration benefiting Empty Arms Bereavement Support. Join us for a professionally timed 5K run or a 2K fun run/walk—then stay for a joyful community gathering and a pancake breakfast to celebrate together. Participants are encouraged to create a fundraising page or team to raise awareness and support for Empty Arms’ work. Thanks to the generosity of individual donors, team fundraisers, and business sponsors, the Stampede raises nearly 50% of the annual budget needed to serve bereaved families across Massachusetts, all year long.

    Race Info

    Seven Sisters Trail Race is 12 miles of technical, singletrack trail on an out-and-back course with over 3,500 ft. elevation gain, following the ridge crest of the Holyoke Range. It’s widely considered the most challenging trail race in the Northeast… and in our humble opinion… it has the most beautiful views.

    Charity Bibs

    Accomplish more with a charity bib! Engage your friends and family to raise the minimum amount based on your distance and in support of a nonprofit of your choice then your registration fee is waived.

    YOU choose whether the funds you raise go to support one of the WP community partners or an organization that matters to you when you sign up for a charity bib.

    Please understand that by signing up for a charity bib, you are making a serious commitment to raise the amount you agreed to. If you are not able to meet the minimum fundraising amount by the week of the race, you will be charged for the cost of a regular bib at that time.

    All donations are final. All “your choice” charities will be verified by Wander Project using the criteria spelled out in Wander Projects FAQ/policies.
