Sheriff's Shuffle 5k Run Walk

We are proud to announce the 2025 Sheriff’s Shuffle 5K Run/Walk — a powerful community event that brings people together to raise awareness and take action against domestic violence in Western Massachusetts.

This year, Sheriff Nick Cocchi is once again partnering with the YWCA of Western Massachusetts to support survivors and prevent domestic violence before it turns deadly. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the YWCA’s critical programs that empower individuals and provide life-saving resources to those in crisis.

The Sheriff’s Shuffle has become more than just a race — it’s a movement. Each year, we gather to honor survivors, support families, and strengthen the local organizations working tirelessly to make our communities safer. Your sponsorship or participation helps amplify these efforts and ensures that no one has to face domestic violence alone.

We invite you to consider becoming a sponsor, registering to run or walk, or making a donation of any amount. Sponsorship opportunities are outlined in the attached sheet.

This year’s Sheriff’s Shuffle will be taking place at The Ashley Reservoir in Holyoke, MA, on Sunday, September 7, 2025. Day-of registration and post-race entertainment will take place at The Holyoke Elks.

Questions regarding sponsorship or other ways to get involved, please contact Davis Snow at Davis.Snow@SDH.State.MA.US or (413) 887-7479
