Please help benefit our neighbors in need through your donation of a pair (or two or three) of new mittens, gloves, hats or scarves when you come to the event. All items will be donated to “The Town That Cares Fund,” a program of the West Hartford Human Services Department.

We expect a large attendance - come early for parking and pickup. Last but not least, plan on having a fun run on race day.
