Big Cheese 5K

Get ready to join the fun at the Athol Area YMCA's Big Cheese 5K, where every stride you take radiates with community spirit and a touch of whimsy!

Since 2010, this unique event has become a staple for both seasoned runners and casual walkers alike, offering an opportunity to feel accomplished while making a meaningful difference. This year, your participation supports the "Partner With Youth Campaign," helping to provide invaluable YMCA services to those in need.

Embrace the friendly competition with a costume twist – go wacky to add to the excitement! Gather friends, family, and strollers for a delightful race that celebrates our town's pride. And yes, there's cheese – the chance to win some of Smith’s Country Cheese’s finest and snag those well-earned bragging rights. Be a part of this cheesy adventure – because when you chase the cheese, you're racing for a purpose!
