_ The 2022 Julia's Run for Children:

Our events are dedicated to celebrate the life of Julia Rusinek and honor the ideals for which she lived. Julia was a student at Yale and devoted herself to improving the lives of those in need. As a college student at Yale University, she dedicated her summers and her free time to working with or on behalf of underprivileged children. 

The mission of the Julia Rusinek Memorial Fund is to support children through programming aimed at developing leadership skills, a love of literature and writing and dedication to athleticism.

Our event proceeds also benefit LEAP, an important partner with the New Haven school system.

After a two year hiatus due to COVID we are excited to bring our events back to you and the children it benefits. 

Our new location is the beautiful and peaceful Edgewood Park, just off Whalley Ave in the Westville section of New Haven. This scenic park has a rich history! It was designed in 1910 by Frederick Law Olmstead who also designed Central Park in NYC as well as many others in CT and beyond.

Our 5k timed run and two mile untimed walk courses will stay within the park on its roads. It will travel by West River and the ponds within its borders! Our course maps will be posted soon.

Our 5k distance is computer timed which you can run or walk. Participants are eligible for awards.

Our new two mile untimed walk is designed for all ages. There are no awards for this distance.

The free kids run will be untimed and cover 1/4 mile or less. We are encouraging 8 year olds and younger. Parents/guardians can accompany their children. All children finishing will receive a medal!

All abilities are welcome and encouraged to join us in our three events!
