The run celebrates the life of Julia Rusinek and honors the ideals for which she lived. She dedicated her summers and her free time to working with children. Run proceeds will go to our charity partner LEAP (Leadership, Education, Athletics in Partnership). LEAP is an academic, social enrichment, and leadership training program for children and youth from high-poverty neighborhoods in New Haven, CT. LEAP is perfectly aligned with our and Julia's mission to support children through developing leadership skills, a love of literature and writing, and dedication to athleticism.
The run will take place in the scenic Edgewood Park, in the Westville section of New Haven. Edgewood Park was designed in 1910 by Frederick Law Olmstead who also designed the Central Park in NYC. Our 5k course stays entirely within the park, on its primary road running by West River and the ponds. The route is safe, quiet, scenic, and there are NO cars.
