For those that would have to drive a distance to get there, what time of day would be the start?
9 am is looking like the tentative start time!
Any idea when and where we can sign up?
Elizabeth, we will have the registration site up soon in the next few days! A lot of logistics to deal with. Thanks for reaching out!
i think it is a great idea, although i can’t run or walk far ,because of problems with my back and legs if there is any i can do to help i will.
As a representative of the Heritage Hotel, we would like to do our part in anyway, shape and form to help. We would like to join as a group and please let us know what else we can do. Please advise.

I am a teacher in eastern CT. I think all the teachers from my school will be going to the race on a school bus together, to show our support for SH Elementary.There is no way I would miss this opportunity to do something. I have two kids of my own but I feel like I have 20 other kids too…
Jd- Awesome! We hope to see you and the others on race day!
