For the past 12 years in September, just when the fall foliage of the beautiful Schoharie Valley is at its best, the FAM 5K "Fund" Run/Walk takes place at the historic fairgrounds in Cobleskill New York. With activities such as massages, chiropractic services, clowns and local vendors, our race is a real celebration of fun, fitness and more! It's also an opportunity for us as race sponsors, organizers and volunteers to work together on behalf of our community. Each year on a rotating basis, the "Fund" makes a donation to one of the five local Schoharie County charities listed below. Please read what these wonderful organizations do!
