There is something truly extraordinary about this community. Every year, runners lace up their shoes, walkers take their first steps, volunteers show up before sunrise, and supporters cheer with everything they have — all in the name of something bigger than a finish line. You give your time, your energy, your fundraising hustle, and your heart. And this year, we want to pause before the race starts and simply say: thank you.

Join us the evening before the MountainOne Thankful 5K for a night of food, fun, laughter, and a little friendly trivia competition. The Friendsgiving Pre-Race Party is our celebration of the incredible people who make this event what it is — and that means you. Come hungry, come ready to dance, and come ready to celebrate Friendsgiving together in true Berkshires style.

This Event Supports

Two Incredible Causes in Our Community

Pittsfield Community Food Pantry
BCAC Fuel Assistance Fund
Together, these two organizations provide warmth, nourishment, and hope to our neighbors across the Berkshires — especially as the cold months approach. The generosity of this community year after year is nothing short of remarkable, and every dollar raised and every can donated makes a real difference in someone's life.
