Milford Campus Bridgeport Hospital Mother's Day 5K Run/Walk, 3K - Walkers only and Kids Fun Run

🏃‍♀️ Event Overview

For over thirty years the Bridgeport Hospital Milford Campus has hosted a Mother's Day Run and Walk to promote wellness and health. All abilities are invited to join us as we celebrate this special day! Proceeds from this year’s Mother’s Day 5K Run/Walk will support programs and patients of Bridgeport Hospital's Milford Campus.

Important to note: THIS YEAR WE ARE LIMITING OUR PARTICIPANT NUMBER TO 650. Please consider registering early - we were close to sold out last year. We do not want to compromise your safety and have limited space. Once registration is closed, it will NOT be reopened. Thank you for understanding.

⚠️ Notes on the Courses

3K and 5K have the same start but 3K splits off and then joins back to 5K along the water at Fort Trumbull. All 3K participants need to stay on the sidewalks to ensure safety. Both courses are flat and scenic, and are accurately measured and well marked with mile splits. Police and volunteers will be on hand for safety.
