About the event

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Hampshire County is excited to announce
The 15th Annual Daffodil Run!
The milestone anniversary fundraising event will be held on
Sunday, April 27th, 2025.

Register by April 1st and get a free Daffodil Run T-shirt.
T-shirts can be purchased after April 1st either at the race, or see option above for t-shirt only purchase.

The celebration begins at 9:00 AM at the Amherst Town Common, with complimentary breakfast for participants (see below for schedule). Our warm-up begins at 9:30 with the timed and certified 10k beginning promptly at 10:00 and the 5K at 10:15. Registration begins at 8:30.

Please arrive no later than 9:00 to ensure a smooth registration and check-in process. You’ll want to bring funds because the race also features a 50/50 raffle as well as raffle for some great prizes. An area to store your personal items will be presided over by our sponsors.

This community event has become the first marker of spring for the town of Amherst and draws hundreds of people to the area to participate and cheer on their family and friends. The post-race party includes music and tasty food offered from local favorites. There will be yellow kites for flying on the Common, entertainment, and (weather permitting) picnic-style games.

The Daffodil Run helps sustain the power of youth mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters by connecting adult mentors with young people in our community. Once matched they go on to build a meaningful, positive relationship that empowers the potential inherent in each child.

Form a team with your friends, family, or work colleagues and wear your business’ branded t-shirts or hats to show your company’s support for mentoring the youth of Hampshire County!

We also have a bib pick-up and Anniversary Party celebrating 50 years as a mentoring agency with cake and ice cream. Thursday, April the 24th from 5-7pm. at The Mill District General Store in Amherst. Come and celebrate, and pick-up your number for the race to save time for the race on Sunday.
