Sign Up for the HKYFS Pumpkin Run to be held Oct. 31, 2021

Kick off your Halloween festivities with the annual Haddam-Killingworth Youth & Family Services 5K Pumpkin Run/Walk to be held on Sunday, October 31, 2021! Participants are encouraged to wear their best Halloween costumes to the race.

Enjoy a scenic 5K course through the New England fall foliage of Haddam, CT and stay around for a festive post-race party complete with refreshments, music, awards and more! The course will begin and end at the Haddam Killingworth High School. The Kids Fun Run will take place on the track at HKHS. Each participant will receive a race t-shirt.

This year there is also an option to do a virtual 5K or a virtual Kids Fun Run. The race t-shirt will be mailed to you.

This is the major fundraiser for Youth & Family Services of Haddam-Killingworth, Inc. (HKYFS), which is a private, non-profit Youth Service Bureau committed to providing high-quality human health services to promote the development and well-being of the local community. For nearly 30 years, HKYFS has been in our community offering individual, couple, family and group counseling, prevention initiatives, after school, evening and weekend programs, community coalitions, and support groups for members of the community.

So far, HKYFS has acquired several sponsors for the event: New Image Auto, Nutmeg Pharmacy, River Valley Oil, Fireworks Hearth & Home, Hillcrest Agency, the Lee Company, and Dutch Oil Company, but they are always looking for more sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, or to learn more, email john@jbsports.com.

You can also become a fundraiser with the event, so that you can help raise money for HKYFS. You can do that HERE.

This year, the 5K will begin at 9:00 a.m. A post-race party will begin at 9:20 a.m. and continue until the Kids Fun Run, which is scheduled to begin at 10:45 a.m.

Youth and Family Services of Haddam-Killingworth is working harder than ever to service the towns of Haddam and Killingworth during these times. The 5K Pumpkin Run/Walk is a positive event at which the community can come together. Please help support HKYFS.
