Frozen Heart 900

The Belltown Spring Sprint is now a 2 Mile Run and Walk and a Kids Fun Run to benefit East Hampton High School Project Graduation. The 2 Mile course takes you through the neighborhoods surrounding the high school. (No cross-country trails or hills this year). Volunteers will be positioned at every turn to keep participants on course. The Kids Run will be entirely on the high school track.

Each year Project Graduation provides approximately 100 to 125 graduates with a fun, safe, drug and alcohol-free night that they will remember for years to come. The event is hosted at a safe location with plenty of food, fun and a wide variety of activities and entertainment for the students to enjoy. Since the first celebration held for the graduating seniors in the class of 2009, we have been able to provide the event free of charge. Our goal is to continue providing the post-graduation party free of charge as we believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to keeping our graduates safe and enjoying their significant accomplishment.

Free Pair of Socks for first 100 registered 2Mile participants. ONSITE REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE THE DAY OF THE RACE!
