Show your most festive patriotic support by wearing red, white and blue! This fundraising event is hosted by the East Haddam/Moodus VFW Post 3336. All Proceeds from this event will benefit Post 3336, and will be distributed to the following Veteran's non-profit organizations:

This event will not only bring together members of our community, but also increase the exposure of the VFW Post 3336 and the needs of veterans locally and around the State.
Note: This is not a USATF certified course. It is slightly longer then a 5K due to the area's geography.
