Randolph Pack the Pantry 5K Run/Walk

Randolph Pack the Pantry 5K Run/Walk takes place in Randolph, Massachusetts, on November 7, 2026. There is one distance, a 5K (3.1 miles) run and walk, starting at 10 a.m. A later gun time suits anyone travelling in the same morning, and it gives a November day time to lose its early chill.

Because runners and walkers share the course, sort out your position at the start before the gun rather than after it. If you intend to race, get toward the front and commit to an even effort; if you are walking, the back is a much more pleasant place to spend the hour. In training terms this is a low-commitment race, which is exactly why it works well as a first one: four weeks of easy running three times a week and you will finish it running.
