Big congratulations to Tyrus St. Jean of Longmeadow, who took home the Male 1–12 Youth Winner title at this year’s Outrun Hunger 2026 race!

At just 7 years old, Tyrus showed incredible energy and determination! We loved seeing runners of all ages come together to help fight hunger in our community — and Tyrus was an amazing part of that spirit!

Way to go, Tyrus! 👏

Today is a reminder that hunger is not a distant issue — it’s happening right here in our own communities.

Across Western Massachusetts, too many individuals and families face food insecurity every day. At Rachel’s Table, we see both the urgent need and the incredible opportunity to make a difference.

Through our four programs — Rescue, Purchase, Glean, and Grow — we work to ensure that good, healthy food reaches those who need it most, while also building long-term solutions for food security. From rescuing surplus food to harvesting fresh produce from local farms and supporting community gardens, every effort helps nourish our neighbors with dignity.

But this work doesn’t happen alone. It takes a community — volunteers, partners, donors, and advocates — all coming together to ensure that no one goes hungry.

Today, and every day, we invite you to be part of the solution.

💚🏃‍♀️ WOW — what an incredible Outrun Hunger 2026!

This year’s event was our biggest yet, with a record number of runners and walkers coming together alongside sponsors, volunteers, and supporters to help fight hunger across Western Massachusetts.

Because of YOU, Outrun Hunger was more than just a race — it was a powerful reminder of what our community can accomplish when we come together with compassion, energy, and purpose.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, sponsored, volunteered, shared our mission, and brought non-perishable food donations to support our neighbors in need. Every step truly made a difference.
