Valley of Hartford 5K Road Race

A Superhero Day for the Community

All are invited to attend our 4th Annual Superhero Sunday, a family-friendly, action-packed community event, complete with a 5K Run/Walk, Kids Mile and Community Bash. Enjoy adventure stations, live music, good food and drinks and much more! Join Connecticut Children's Foundation, in partnership with Ball 4 a Cure, as we celebrate truly remarkable superheroes—Connecticut Children's brave and courageous patients, families and team members.

"The East Farms Spring Ahead 5K Fun Run/Walk (or 1-mile Run/Walk!) was started 11 years ago by an East Farms parent looking to help raise funds for the PTO. It has turned into the biggest fundraiser for the school every year! The PTO strives to to enrich the curriculum by organizing and funding various educational, cultural and social activities, and all funds raised go directly towards these efforts. We help fund field trips to lessen the financial burden on families, and we help to support school events like Night of Arts and Culture, YARC Day and various other educational and cultural assemblies. We also help to support families in need in our school community with support through the Wolf Fund.

But, the 5K is not only about raising money; it's an event that is focused on promoting health and wellness as well! Each year we are adding a little more to the event to provide different opportunities for families to get up, get moving and to have fun staying healthy together! Especially after being cooped up indoors all winter, it's a great way to get back outdoors and stretch those muscles!

We would like to thank a couple of our top sponsors this year; as always, Highland Park Market is a regular monetary sponsor of our event, as well as the provider of the after race snacks and bottled water! This year, we have a brand new Platinum Sponsor, Symmetric IT Group, for all of your cyber security and IT management needs! Based out of Tampa, they are a new family to the East Farms community, and we are very appreciative of their very generous sponsorship this year! If you have a business and are interested in sponsoring, please reach out to efpto@fpsct.org for more info!"
