The Women's Fund SouthCoast is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working across the SouthCoast for the last 25 years to advance gender, racial, and economic justice through grantmaking, research, and advocacy. We have distributed over $2 million to local organizations to advance our mission and create a more equitable and just society for all.

Our Annual Mother's Day 5k Road Race & Walk has been completely volunteer-driven since our first event over a decade ago and has brought together nearly 1,000 individuals annually to raise funds and awareness for our mission. We are again excited to host this year's race at Cisco Brewers New Bedford and to bring together individuals from all walks of life for a day of joy and community.

Parking is available onsite at Cisco Brewers New Bedford on Race Day via their Auxiliary Lot - a short 5 minute walk from the Start Line. There will be volunteers available to guide you to identified parking. Parking at the main Cisco Brewers lot is strictly limited to individuals that require special accommodation. Please email Todd Foy at tfoy@womensfundsouthcoast.org as soon as possible if you need assistance.

We will offer bib pickup and registration in the Beer Garden at Cisco Brewers on Saturday, May 10th from 11am-5pm as well as on Race Day starting at 7:30am. All bibs must be picked up by the close of the Registration Tent at 8:45am on Sunday, May 11th. No bibs will be distributed after this time, so please plan to arrive early!

We have partnered with Ariana Lee to design a one-of-a-kind t-shirt design only available in limited quantities for this year's race. Complimentary shirts will be provided to the first 100 registrants and will be available after that for an additional purchase of $10 with registration. Shirt sales will end on Monday, April 28th at 4pm and we will not offer size exchanges on Race Day, so please plan accordingly!

You can view a sample shirt on our social media (Facebook and Instagram) or on our website!

No dogs, leashed or unleashed, are allowed on the course. Additionally, no weapons of any kind are permitted on the premises of Cisco Brewers New Bedford or the course at any time for any reason.

Additionally, the Women's Fund SouthCoast is committed to providing a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment to all participants. Any behavior that does not reflect this may result in disqualification and/or a request to leave the premises. Please help us create a fun day for everyone!
