Milford Campus Bridgeport Hospital Mother's Day 5K Run/Walk, 3K - Walkers only and Kids Fun Run

THIS YEAR WE ARE LIMITING OUR PARTICIPANT NUMBER TO 650. Please consider registering early - we were close to sold out last year. We do not want to compromise your safety and have limited space. Once closed we cannot add on. Thank you for understanding. For over thirty years the Bridgeport Hospital Milford Campus has hosted a Mother's Day Run and Walk to promote wellness and health. All abilities are invited to join us as we celebrate this special day! Proceeds from this year’s Mother’s Day 5K Run/Walk will support a new family waiting room for the Same Day Joint Replacement Surgery Center at Bridgeport Hospital's Milford Campus. EVENTS: Our 5K chip timed Run (or walk) and 3k Fitness Walk (untimed) both begin and ends at the Milford Campus of Bridgeport Hospital. You must RUN or WALK the entire 5K if you want to be computer timed and eligible for awards. Our 3K walk (1.8mi) is not timed. Our FREE, 1/10 mi Kids Fun Run is prior to the start of the 5K.

It joins back onto the 5k course along the water at Fort Trumbull. We ask all 3K participants to be SAFE and use sidewalks wherever available. The 5K and 3K courses are very flat and have scenic views as you travel past Long Island Sound. Our 5k course is accurately measured and well marked with mile splits. Police and volunteers on the course will help keep you safe as you run or walk through the picturesque neighborhood. BOTH COURSES ARE WELL MARKED with arrows on the ground, turning sign arrows & traffic cones. The water table for both courses will be at the very scenic Fort Trumbull venue.
