This family-friendly event will be socially distanced fun, and is in full compliance with all state safety regulations. Organizers are working closely with Newington officials to ensure social distancing and safety. A staggered start line beginning at 9 a.m. will be used on the certified 5K course. As per the state of Connecticut, there will be no day-of event registration, and registration is limited. Sign-ups must be completed online by 9 p.m. on Oct. 23.
Proceeds from the event will go toward veterinary care for pets in crisis at CHS, whether it’s an urgent surgery for a young dog, long-term treatment for a cat with diabetes, spays and neuters for puppies and kittens, or special care for a rabbit who won’t eat.
