5th Annual Purple Light Project 5K

Join us for the heartwarming Purple Light Project 5k Run – a beacon of support for behavioral health care! Inspired by the dedicated purple pod at Hartford Hospital, this event shines a nurturing light for those facing mental health emergencies. Every stride taken and every dollar raised empowers individuals with essentials like food vouchers, transportation, and warm clothing, enhancing their path to recovery. All of this support scaffolds the pledge that we're always here to help, any hour, any day.

Whether you’re racing to win or jogging for joy, every registered participant fuels compassionate care and scores some sweet ice cream as a treat! Kick off is at the IOL Campus, 200 Retreat Ave. with registration at 8:00 am and races commencing shortly after. And don't worry about the ticking clock; we've got professional timing & scoring locked down. While we stay attuned to health guidelines, our commitment to caring shines unwavering. Ready, set, support!
