For the past ten years, Coos County Family Health has hosted a 5K Run/ Walk event in conjunction with Berlin’s annual RiverFire Celebration. This event serves as the primary fundraiser for Response – A Domestic & Sexual Violence Support Center serving Northern New Hampshire. This event has raised over $100,000 in support of Response since its inception in 2013.
“In person” participants will run or walk a flat and fast, certified (NH 19005BK), 5K (3.1 miles) course along the picturesque Androscoggin River ending their race at Berlin’s annual RiverFire Celebration on 10/14/2023 featuring music, mouthwatering food and drinks, and activities for the entire family.
“Virtual” participants will dedicate a 3.1-mile run/walk or hike
(does not have to be exact and does not have to be done all at once) on a course and time of their choosing in support of Response.
Beneficiary: All net proceeds from this event to support Response – A Domestic & Sexual Violence Support Center.
