Description
Run or walk to support Amherst A Better Chance and enjoy a cup of cider at the finish line! The walk/run starts at Amherst Town Common, partly circles Amherst College campus and enters the woodlands of The Amherst College bird sanctuary, highlighted by a beautiful view over the Pelham Hills. Finally, it follows the Norwottuck Rail Trail back to the campus. Upon completion, runners and walkers are invited to enjoy a cup of cider and healthy snacks while we await the results and then award prizes.
The 5K Fall Foliage And Cider Run is a community celebration of Amherst A Better Chance (aka the ABC House), a residential high school program that prepares academically talented young men of color from educationally underserved school districts for college and future leadership roles.
