The 14th Annual MacDuffie Run for Hope is a flat cross-country 5k trail that winds in and around the MacDuffie School property.  This event is run by students, and is a great community event. Proceeds from the event will go to a charity of our students' choice, this year being Dakin Humane Society of Springfield MA.

There is also an optional Color Run!  We will have a separate route marked for runners who wish to engage in the fun of getting splashed with colors while running, and it looks great on the t-shirts! (included in base fee)
