Celebrate! West Hartford Road Races

The Celebrate! West Hartford FUNd RUNS are the most family-friendly fitness runs in the Greater Hartford region. Featuring a non-competitive Kids' K dash and a 5K race, the FUNd RUNS have something for ages 3-103. Held in conjunction with the Town's two-day outdoor festival, it's a great opportunity for individuals or whole families to enjoy a healthy activity together while helping to support West Hartford families in need. A portion of proceeds is donated to the Leisure Services Scholarship fund which helps children from low-income families attend swimming lessons, camps during school vacations and other life-enhancing programs throughout the year.
