This April, we’re hitting the pavement for a powerful cause. The Mission MetroWest Road Race is our first-ever in-person event, and it’s here to support the wider Mission MetroWest: One Mile a Day Challenge — raising awareness and critical funds for people experiencing homelessness right here in Waltham.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just lacing up for fun, you can choose to take on the 5K or the One Mile route. Every step you take helps support the work of the Community Day Center of Waltham (CDCW) — a local day shelter providing food, showers, housing support, and case management to hundreds of people in need.

$25 – Covers a week of hygiene supplies

$30 – Pays for 3 hot, nutritious meals

$50 – Provides a thermal sleeping bag for someone sleeping outside

$75 – Helps 3 people get to vital medical appointments

Your generosity will help us provide care with dignity, meet people where they are, and give them a chance at the stability they deserve.

Thank you for running, walking, sharing, donating — and believing in the power of community. Together, we are showing up for our neighbors.
