From the Organizer
The purpose of the Run for Rafa Fun Run is to raise funds and community support for Rafa Cristeli and her family following a serious accident in the summer of 2025. Since the accident, Rafa has demonstrated tremendous resilience and perseverance throughout ongoing hospitalizations and rehabilitation. While she has recently returned home, the family continues to face significant emotional and financial challenges.
Please join us for a day of fitness, fun, and community! Post run, we will have food, music, and a post race party featuring some local businesses!
This event is being organized by the Hopkinton lacrosse program, Hiller Athletics, and families and community members close to the family, to celebrate Rafa’s strength and provide meaningful support during her recovery journey.
