Run with Purpose and Walk with Heart
For 50 years, Abby’s House has been a place of refuge, dignity, and belonging for women navigating some of life’s most vulnerable moments. What began as a grassroots effort by a group of determined women has grown into one of Worcester’s most trusted organizations providing safe, affordable housing, shelter, advocacy, and supportive services to women and families who need it most.
This October, we’re asking you to show up for them.
The 17th Annual Abby’s House Hybrid 5K Run/Walk gives you the flexibility to participate your way, whether you’re hitting the pavement in Worcester or logging your miles from your own neighborhood, trail, or treadmill. Every step, every dollar, and every team that crosses that finish line helps keep our doors open and our mission moving forward.
