At MARE, we know that all children deserve a safe, loving place to call home. However, the reality is that in Massachusetts, there are currently 1,160 children and teens in foster care awaiting adoption who have no relatives or other potential adopters. That's why we're hosting our 14th Annual Jordan's Furniture Walk/Run for Adoption!

This event includes festivities, food, games, balloons, and family-friendly fun! Walkers and runners are invited to complete a 5k fun-run, consisting of three loops around the course.

All the funds raised from this event go towards helping children and teens in foster care find adoptive homes!

Want to participate but can't make the live event? No problem! Participants are welcomed to join virtually; that way you can spread awareness about adoption from foster care wherever you may be.

Types Of Registration

Walkers

If you're looking for a non-competitive option to enjoy the 5k, this option is for you! Walkers stroll around the track at their own pace. If you don't plan on walking, you should still register as a walker so that you can fundraise AND participate in the day’s fun activities.

Runners

The “Runner” option is for participants who want to race around the track and compete for the best time. Each runner will receive a bib at the registration table and line up on the starting line before the walkers. Times will be officially recorded and posted on the event page within a week of the race day.

Virtual

The “Virtual” option is a great choice if you’d like to participate but can’t make the live event. You can walk or run wherever you’d like while still raising awareness!
