Backpack Drive + Run - Yarmouth

Join Marathon Sports Yarmouth, our amazing Ambassador Mary, Saucony, and SmellWell for a heartwarming back-to-school celebration that gives back! We’ll kick things off with a short, all-levels run, then head back to the store for nostalgic lunchbox snacks and raffle prizes.

We're supporting the Homeless Prevention Council Backpack to School program, which provides customized backpacks and supplies for local kids in need—helping families start the school year with confidence and peace of mind.

🎁 Bring a donation from the school supply list below to make a difference—and earn raffle tickets! You'll receive one raffle ticket per item or backpack donated (up to 5 tickets max). Every ticket is a chance to win a free pair of Saucony shoes and other great prizes! Full list of needed donations below.

Let’s run, snack, and give back—together. 🏃‍♀️📚💛
