Somerset Berkley Education Foundation Halloween 5K & Walk
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

Somerset Creamery
Auclair’s Market

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