_ The 2023 Julia's Run for Children:
Our events are dedicated to celebrating the life of Julia Rusinek and honoring 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 benefit LEAP, an important partner with the New Haven school system.
DONATIONS -THE JULIA RUSINEK MEMORIAL FUND - was established so that Julia’s commitment to children could live on through direct interactions with children and financial support of educational activities and enrichment programs. It is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) organization with virtually no operating expenses. The Fund has no paid staff and only accrues minimal operating costs.
If you'd like more information on Julia and her memorial fund please visit https://juliarun.org/
All donations from this event into the Julia Rusinek Memorial Fund will go directly to our charity partner -LEAP (Leadership, Education, Athletics in Partnership) which works directly with the New Haven Public Schools.

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID we were thrilled to bring our events back to you and the children it benefits last year at our new venue. 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 course will stay within the park on its primary roads. It will travel by West River and the ponds within its borders. It’s safe, quiet, scenic, and NO Cars!
The route starts and ends near the pavilion in the park. It travels out on the park road 1/2 mile. It returns to the start area point and then goes back out for one full mile. At the turn around it returns to finish to cover the 3.11 mi distance.
All abilities and ages are welcome and encouraged to join us to run, walk, and also enjoy the kids only run.
The best park lot to use is off West Rocks Ave. The Front lot, off Whalley Ave, will be CLOSED. GPS/GOOGLE MAP- You can use ‘MANJARES’ (a great coffee shop/restaurant) which is located at 382 West Rock Ave. New Haven as an address. The parking lot entrance is right across the street at the park. You can also park on W. Rock Ave. If there are no spots left you can cross Whalley Ave and go up Fitch St - less than a 1/4 mile north is a huge lot on the left, open to the public. If you use Edgewood Park Skate Park in your GPS it will also get you there- but it will bring you to the front lot which would be closed.
DO NOT use (just) Edgewood Park because it could direct you to Edgewood Ave! IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD- Looking to stay for a bit? Besides Manjares there are some terrific places just a short walk away.
You will love Bellas Cafe on Whalley Ave., and just North of that is the Cat Cafe and Pistachios.
