Colonial Road Runners - FUN RUN Early Registration

The Sydney Craven Memorial Fund is a non-profit organization with the mission of providing financial support to children and families throughout the communities of East Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, and Bridgewater, for activities that promote individuality, growth, and self-discovery. It is our goal that the scholarships given through this fund will help children to enhance their self-esteem and embrace their “inner sparkle.”

The 10^th Annual 5K Tutu Run & SparkleFest will take place on Saturday June 13, 2026, at the East Bridgewater Commercial Club from 8:30am-12:00pm. The event will include a 5K run through the town of East Bridgewater starting at 8:30am followed by an outdoor family fun festival called ‘SparkleFest."

SparkleFest will have music by DJ Michael Kingsley of MixMatch Entertainment, face painting and balloon twisting by Silly Faces With Sarah, petting zoo from Farm Visits, exotic interactive animal experience with Joe's Crazzy Critters, an interactive bubble show by Sara Joy of Circus Dynamics, bounce house, sports inflatables, a ride-on train and more! There will also be concessions and food trucks to enjoy throughout the event!

Not only does this event keep the legacy alive of a beautiful, sweet, spunky little girl who left us far too soon, but it also aids in raising funds for a great cause all while providing an opportunity to immerse local companies even further into the community. You don’t want to miss it!
