Julia's Run for Children

The event takes place at Edgewood Park in New Haven and offers a 5K run, a one-mile walk, and a kids' run. The 5K course is a scenic, out-and-back route within the park. Participants can choose to be timed or untimed for the 5K. The event honors Julia Rusinek, a former Yale student, and supports the Julia Rusinek Memorial Fund, which benefits the nonprofit LEAP. LEAP focuses on empowering underserved youth in New Haven. The event provides awards for top finishers and age group champions, and all children in the kids' run receive medals. Registration is online only.
