Registration open for walk, fundraiser

OLD SAYBROOK — This year’s 14th annual Walk Across Southeastern Connecticut fundraiser for the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation will offer a new 5K, in addition to the full marathon, half marathon and quarter marathon from Old Saybrook to Waterford.

Walk registration is open and the walk will be held Oct. 5. A full marathon starts in Old Saybrook and follows a route along the shoreline, ending at Camp Harkness. The half marathon starts in Old Lyme, and the quarter marathon begins in downtown Niantic. Shuttles will be available following closing ceremonies at Camp Harkness, which begin at 3:45 p.m.

The family friendly 5K will follow a trail through Camp Harkness and Harkness State Park, with stops at scenic spots for photographs. Children, strollers and pets on leashes are welcome. Sameday registration begins at 1:30 p.m., and a staggered start begins at 2 p.m.

There will be soups, ice cream, drinks and snacks. Group yoga stretching sessions and lawn games such as ring toss and corn hole also will be available. Families and supporters can bring chairs, blankets and picnic baskets and welcome those crossing the finish line.

Registration for all legs of the walk is $25 prior to Aug.1 and $30 after that. Participants for the 5K must commit to raising $150 by Dec. 31, 2019. The fundraising commitment for the full marathon is $500; $250 for the half; and $200 for the quarter. The commitment for cancer survivors $100, and the same for students ages 1222.
