Hosted by the East Hartford Alumni Association and Education Foundation,  this scenic run/walk along the Connecticut River is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community and commitment to our students. Every step you take helps to support our mission of awarding scholarships to deserving graduating EHPS students and alumni, and mini-grants to teacher and staff who want to offer innovative enrichment programs for students. Your participation will also support mentoring and networking programs that inspire excellence and opportunity in East Hartford Public Schools.
