We’re taking things in stride this summer as best we can to keep you moving and motivated! Let’s come together in a mission of support for healthcare heroes in the L+M Hospital community surrounding New London.
In addition to the 5K and 10K, the L+M Hospital Summer Stride offers the Five & Dime Challenge to complete both distances with the three days of the virtual event. Walkers and runners of all abilities encouraged to join! #SummerStride10K5K
Register for the L+M Hospital Stride 10K, 5K or Five & Dime Challenge (to take on both race distances!). Run or walk anytime during the weekend of July 17-19. Virtual race benefits:
Run the 5K or 10K distance, or take on the Five & Dime Challenge – all events are $35.
Didn’t run exactly 5K or 10K? No problem! Use this simple Finish Time Calculator to calculate your time (please note: does not work on iPhone or iPad).
This event gives participants the flexibility to participate when and where it is convenient. As such, there are no refunds and no deferments for virtual events.
A portion of each registration will be donated toYNHH COVID-19 Support Fund. Want to give more to charity? Participants may opt out of receiving swag to double the donation to the fund. Select the “Donate my Swag” option during the registration.

We miss everyone, and even though we are apart, we still want to see you! Take a selfie on your training runs and walks along the water. Get creative and channel that “seaside” experience along the lakes, streams or ponds you pass – even if it’s not along New London’s Long Island Sound. Submit photos by email to 1994.hmf@gmail.com through Tuesday, July 13th, to be part of this special cheer video. Photos will be compiled and distributed to help us all feel a little closer together.
Each participant earns a short sleeve technical shirt (size chart). Five & Dime Challenge participants will also receive an exclusive challenge magnet to display proudly. All commemorative swag will be mailed after the event OR participants can select to have their swag available for curbside pick-up at HMF’s office, 41 Sequin Drive, Glastonbury, CT 06033 (this must be selected during registration or updated in your participant haku account by Sunday, July 12th).
