RegisterSouthcoast Health is thrilled to host the 8th Annual Southcoast Health Podkowa 5k Walk & Run! The race will take place at Southcoast Health Cancer Care in Fairhaven, MA at 9am on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
Proceeds raised through this event will support the Nicole Podkowa Patient & Caregiver Fund. This unique fund supports patients being treated at Southcoast Health Cancer Care and their families who are in need of financial assistance to help with utility payments, food, housing, transportation, cancer related supplies and other necessities.
For those that cannot join us in person but would still like to participate, you may still register for our virtual event and walk or run your 5k in the comfort of your own neighborhood, treadmill or local park. Virtual walk/run participants will not have bib numbers for the in-person event.
Invite your family and friends to join you in completing the 5k and encourage them to register! Spread the word on social media! Hashtag #SHPodkowa5k2025 and tag @southcoasthealth when you post videos and photos of yourself participating in the 5k.
Registration
Online registration will be open until 10/02/2025 at midnight EST.
Day of Registration at Southcoast Health Cancer Care will open at 7:30am on 10/05/2025.
Registration is closed on 10/3 and 10/4 for race organization purposes. Please do not register for the virtual race during that time if you plan to participate in person. Please register on race day if you miss the registration window.
Please note:
This year's event will be cup-free. We will have water-filling stations at the staging area as well as on the 5k course, but you must bring your own cup or water bottle. A cup-free event will reduce waste and minimize our impact on the environment.
We request no dogs at this event for the safety of our participants.
In addition to runners and walkers, we’re looking for Community Committee Members, volunteers, and peer-to-peer fundraisers. Email events@southcoast.org to learn more!
