For over thirty years the Bridgeport Hospital Milford Campus has hosted a Mother's Day Run and Walk to promote wellness and health. All abilities are invited to join us as we celebrate this special day!  Proceeds from this year’s Mother’s Day 5K Run/Walk will support programs and patients of Bridgeport Hospital's Milford Campus.

Important to note: THIS YEAR WE ARE LIMITING OUR PARTICIPANT NUMBER TO 650. 

Please consider registering early - we were close to sold out last year.  We do not want to compromise your safety and  have limited space.Once registration is closed, it will NOT be reopened. Thank you for understanding. 

EVENTS:

• Our 5K chip timed Run (or walk) and 3k Fitness Walk (untimed) both begin and ends at the Milford Campus of Bridgeport Hospital.
• You must RUN or WALK the entire 5K if you want to be computer timed and eligible for awards.
• Our 3K walk (1.8mi) is not timed. 
• Our FREE, 1/10 mi Kids Fun Run is prior to the start of the 5K.   All kids 5th grade (10 years) and under can enter this non-competitive (no awards) fun run.

We encourage all levels of participants for all of our events. Join us for a great start to Mother's Day!

Notes on the courses:

3K and 5K have the same start but 3K splits off and then joins back to 5K along the water at Fort Trumbull.  All 3K participants need to stay on the sidewalks to ensure safety. Both courses are flat and scenic, and are accurately measured and well marked with mile splits.  Police and volunteers will be on hand for safety.
