The Connecticut Breast Health Initiative’s popular annual RACE IN THE PARK returns for Mother’s Day Weekend 2021 with an all-new, ‘do-it-yourself’ format that will bring family, friends and neighbors together – wherever they choose – to support breast cancer research in Connecticut.
After 17 years gathering annually at New Britain’s Walnut Hill Park, this year’s virtual event is being reformatted to give participants a chance to run or walk in a location of their choice – such as closer to home in their own local neighborhoods – as they keep track of their time (if they wish), and share a photo of their efforts in support of much-needed Connecticut-based breast cancer research and education.
“Like so many of us in so many aspects of our lives, we’ve had to adapt the RACE to the realities of 2021. But we’re excited about the prospects, and we’ve already received tremendous positive feedback,” said Joyce Bray, Board President of the Connecticut Breast Health Initiative. “The need is important. Each person is important.”
The 2021 RACE IN THE PARK will be Thursday, May 6 through Sunday, May 9. It will be easier than ever to participate – without traveling to New Britain. Anyone can participate from anywhere, at any time during the four-day period!
Registration is now open. Registration fees are: Standard Pricing, $25, through May 2; or Race Week, $30, May 3-9. Also youth under 17 can be registered for $15 at www.ctbhi.org/the-race
Race in the Park 2021 is proudly supported by Lite 100.5 WRCH!
