40th Firecracker 5k Run Walk

Join us for The Compassion 5K, a community-centered race supporting both people and pets in need of compassionate care. Hosted by Griswold Home Care, this event brings together runners, walkers, families, and animal lovers to make a positive impact in New Castle County.

Proceeds from the race will benefit Faithful Friends Animal Society - helping provide food, care, and safe housing for furry friends. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, casual walker, or simply want to support the cause, this event offers something for everyone.

Together we hope to raise awareness in care options for our loved ones – both people and pets.

Join us for our annual UPD 5K.

This race benefits Ulster Project Delaware (UPD). UPD was founded in 1976 as a program to build understanding between Northern Irish Catholic and Protestant teenagers. Each July, the project brings a group of teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16, half Catholic, half Protestant, and half girls, half boys, to the Wilmington area where they live with host teenagers and their families for four weeks. During that month, the teens participate in a variety of team building, social, sightseeing, spiritual and service activities that enable them to create enduring friendships and mutual understanding.
