Frequently Asked Questions
Please note that this year's event will once again take place virtually, and some of the questions below may not be applicable in 2021.
Free local parking is available on the street and in lots near the Amherst Common. Participants may also park at Amherst-Pelham Regional High School located at 21 Mattoon St., and shuttles will be provided to the Common.
Speed & Sprocket Cycle Works will host a bike valet so you can lock up your bike safely for the duration of the event.
Our mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. For a few hours, 2-4 times a month, Bigs and Littles spend time doing various activities together, from going to a museum to taking a hike. By simply offering the invaluable gift of friendship, Bigs and Littles literally change each others’ lives for the better.
Organizers of the Daffodil Run acknowledge that there are more than two genders, so we’ve created an ‘open gender’ category for individuals to select if either the ‘male’ or ‘female’ categories do not suit you. Please contact CHD’s BBBS Director, Jessie Cooley, with any questions at [email protected]HD.org or (413) 259-3345.

No, many of our participants walk the 5K course instead of run. We would also appreciate your services as a volunteer as well!
Details coming soon!
Normally, both the 5K and 10K start at the Porter House on Boltwood Ave, directly adjacent to the Amherst Town Common. However, since the event is virtual this year, the starting line and start time are up to you!
