The Kids Fun Run registration fee is $10

The registration fee for children age 14 and under for the 5K is $15.

Parking will be available at the Knights of Columbus,1831 Main Street, East Hartford CT. If necessary, you will be directed to overflow lots where transportation to the registration area/start line will be provided.  

Are strollers/dogs/walkers allowed on the course? 

Absolutely! This is a family event - the more the merrier!
