Amherst ABC Cider Run/Walk (5K)

Join us for the 51st Annual Fall Foliage & Cider Run on Saturday, October 14, 2023!

The Fall Foliage & Cider Run is a community celebration of Amherst A Better Chance, a residential high school program that prepares academically talented young men of color from educationally underserved school districts for college and future leadership roles. 

Run or walk to support Amherst A Better Chance and enjoy a cup of cider at the finish line!

The walk/run starts at Amherst Town Common, partly circles Amherst College campus and enters the woodlands of The Amherst College bird sanctuary, highlighted by a beautiful view over the Pelham Hills. Finally, it follows the Norwottuck Rail Trail back to the campus.
