_ The 2023 The SHORT BEACH SUMMER 5k RUN:

We are thrilled to be hosting the fourth edition of our Lordship - Short Beach community event. In 2020 it was the first running event in town after restrictions were lifted. With close to 200 participants last year we are planning to go past that number!
 
Don’t get shut out. The 5K event is limited to 350 people. The 1.3 mile untimed walk is limited to 100 people.
The Kids Fun Run (9 & under) on the beach is ALWAYS FREE & directed by the ubiquitous Donna Cramond!
 
ALL ABILITIES ARE ENCOURAGED. You can run or walk this 5K (3.1mi) course. Everyone in the 5k will be computer-timed & eligible for awards. If you chose NOT to be timed please let us know when you pick up your bib and well before the start.  

We truly appreciate the support given to us by the Stratford Town Departments. We could not host this event without our friends from the Stratford-RECREATION, POLICE, FIRE, HEALTH, EMS,  & DPW.

This event was formerly named the MADD DASH. Four years ago it was redesigned by MS Running Productions. Our charity partner remains MADD CT. All donations help MADD fund their programs.  
 
PLEASE ARRIVE BY 8 AM on AUG 5 SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE FREE ACCESS INTO THE BEACH. (Unless you have a resident town sticker) The Stratford Recreation Department has been a wonderful supporter and grants us access BEFORE the beach officially opens at 8 am. In order for us to have you ready and safe, please be here by 8 am.

TOWN ORDINANCE- SORRY NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED INTO ANY AREA OF THE PARK.
 
WE WILL BE COLLECTING NON-PERISHABLE FOODS FOR THE STERLING HOUSE FOOD BANK.
Please bring your donations to pre pickup on Friday or at the event on Saturday.
