Event Information
About the Event
Welcome to our 2nd Annual Knights of Columbus 5K! Our inaugural event was a huge success, attracting over 100 participants and raising more than $2500 for local charities.

Our volunteer non-profit group has been fundraising and helping out in the Millbury-Sutton area and surrounding community since 2001! All net proceeds from this year's race will again benefit those in need from Millbury, Sutton and Worcester via The St. Vincent de Paul Society and Urban Missionaries of Our Lady of Hope's outreach helping "the least, the last, and the left out."
