A Good Run 5K
A Good Run 5K is an inclusive community event that welcomes participants of all abilities to enjoy a celebration of wellness.
Our 5K (3.1 Miles) course is flat and paved almost the entire way. The course snakes throughout the park and there are plenty of water stations to stay hydrated. East Shore Park provides a beautiful waterfront course right along the Long Island Sound. Participants are encouraged to come early for stretching and parking.
Everyone with Parkinson's run's free. A Good Run was started by Kathleen Camp and Etana Solomon as a multi-media project to foster gratitude. Kathleen was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 12 years ago, and we celebrate her journey through movement with an annual 5K race.
If it's your first time racing or you feel like you could use a buddy, please contact us for a volunteer pacer. We have a group of seasoned runners that would be willing to walk, run and encourage you along the way.
For any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to agoodrunteam@gmail.com.
Race Address
East Shore Park
350 Woodward Ave, New Haven, CT 06512
All proceeds will be donated to the Parkinson's Foundation.
About A Good Run
A Good Run (AGR) is a multi-media project exploring love, grief and resilience. The goal is to encourage everyone to show more gratitude for their health and the health of their loved ones.
AGR came from the idea that Kathleen Camp’s life is broken into 3 chapters – her youth, her life without Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and her life with PD. When referring to her life without PD she says “I had a good run,” and that is how the name of our initiative was born.
In addition to the race, AGR created a mini-documentary A Good Run: Finding Peace with Parkinson's showcasing the resilience and bond of the mother-daughter duo behind AGR. The mini-documentary follows Kathleen's life story and reality with Parkinson's. The story also follows the support given by her daughter, caregiver (and race director) Etana Solomon.
In addition to fostering gratitude, AGR aims to raise awareness and funds for the Parkinson’s Foundation, supporting research, resources, and hope for those living with PD. Everyone with Parkinson's can participate in the AGR 5K for free.
Spots are limited for this year's race! We encourage anyone eager to particiate to register early to guarantee a place at the start line.
Have a good run :)
