RACE DAY

Arrive early to take in the scene – a dazzling sight of hundreds of santas! All shapes, all sizes and all ages! We’ll have cocoa and cookies available, our Bank Street merchants will be open and festive holiday music will fill the air. Your eyes – how they’ll twinkle! Your dimples – how merry! And don’t forget to bring a bag full of paper goods to support the Covenant Shelter.

Please note:  No baggage check available on race day.

THIS RACE BENEFITS

HMF will donate a portion of each entry fee to the Covenant Shelter of New London to help operate a temporary warming center for women with no other place to go in the cold weather. Covenant Shelter will make space to accommodate 15 sleeping bags and mats during the cold weather period of November 15th – March 15th for single women. These spaces are not shelter beds, but a one night at-a-time emergency place to avoid freezing.

Your additional donation will help keep these women warm and safe by covering the cost of sleeping bags, laundry and staff to monitor the center. Please consider adding a donation to your registration.
