This September, hundreds of people will join children with cancer and their families from around the state in the inaugural Circle of Care 5k: Care to Run. This is a true community-wide event, with teams from all over Fairfield County organizing to run to show children with cancer how much they care. Student teams in each grade at Wilton High School are organizing and raising funds to compete with students from Greens Farms Academy in Westport. Corporations, families and professional runners are joining teams, with all funds going to Circle of Care’s programs that directly impact children with cancer in our community. . Runners that raise $250 or more will have their registration fee refunded on race day. A special website has been set up for registration and tracking, linked to Circle of Care’s site for easy online registration and donations.
Modest cash prizes will be awarded for the race, which will be timed and USATF Certified. There will be prizes for Best Team Spirit and Best Fundraiser as well as cash prizes of $100 for first, $75 for second and $50 for the third place runner.
