Kevin's Run

Late Breaking!

Rose has found a 5K that's taking place near Elizabeth Park @ 10 a.m. this Saturday, May 22. I know the timer (Vandalay Timing) and love the area so I'm registering.

Paper registration will be available on race day from 8-10am. Please email questions to Lynne Reznick at remil001@hartfordschools.org

The race starts with a loop around the track and then exits out onto Elizabeth St and takes a sharp left onto Whitney. The course then loops around onto Asylum Ave, turns left onto Prospect and cuts through the west end until it hooks onto Elizabeth and then Asylum. Take a sharp left onto Kenyon, then turn Right onto Elizabeth to re-enter the park for the finish at the baseball field.

From the sponsoring school's website I found the following:

The race kicks off at 10am on Saturday, May 22 at Elizabeth Park. Start your day at the Kevin's Run before heading to the annual Hog River Fest on our campus.

"Fee for students is $5 and for adults it’s $20. We will give out a copious amounts of awards around 11:15 am and be wrapped up in time for the start of the Hog River Festival at noon," explained Ms. Reznick. "Last year we almost doubled the number of participants, and I would love to do that again this year."

Volunteers may assist Ms Reznick the week or two before the race or on race day. She needs help hanging signs in and around the school and in your own neighborhood, as well as with race day registration, course marshaling, and setup/cleanup. What a great way to help a the family of Classical Magnet junior Kevin Mendez who battled leukemia. He and his family appreciate your support.
