A Celebration of Nations, Community, and Unity in Historic Downtown Milford.
Inspired by the excitement and global spirit of the FIFA World Cup, the World Cup 5K Run and 1-Mile Walk is a community event designed to celebrate diversity, promote inclusion, and showcase the vibrant cultures that make Greater Milford unique.
Hosted by NextGen Global, a committee of local Hispanic business leaders for the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Milford, we invite participants of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities to proudly represent their heritage by wearing their country’s colors and joining together as one community.
More than a race, this event is a celebration of unity—a sea of nations coming together in Historic Downtown Milford to promote health, cultural appreciation, community pride, and economic vitality.
Join us for a fun morning race or walk in our downtown community and stay for a great time to enjoy food vendors, music and shop from local business vendors.
