From the Organizer
Join us on November 9th for the very first A Good Run 5K. The race will be held at the beautiful East Shore Park in New Haven, CT. The event is all about moving our bodies and celebrating where we are in our own fitness journeys. All proceeds will be donated to the Parkinson’s Foundation and anyone with Parkinson's is eligible for FREE registration!
The 5K course follows the shoreline paths of the park and offers inspiring views of the New Haven Harbor. The route is flat and beginner-friendly, making it perfect for seasoned runners, walkers, families and those using walking aids.
It is our inaugural year and we are looking forward to creating a great experience for all. A Good Run 5K is more than just a race, following the race, the documentary A Good Run: Finding Peace with Parkinson's will premiere at NXTHVN. The mini-documentary follows Kathleen's battle with Parkinson's while supported by her daughter, caregiver (and race director!) Etana.
Together, we aim to raise awareness and funds for the Parkinson’s Foundation, fueling research, resources, and hope for those living with Parkinson’s disease.
Spots are limited—be sure to register early to guarantee your place at the start line! We are so excited to have you join us and please feel free to contact us with any questions.
