Julia's Run for Children celebrates the legacy of Julia Rusinek and embraces the ideals for which she lived. Julia was a student at Yale College, and she dedicated her summers and her free time to working with or on behalf of underprivileged children. 

​

Join us on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM in New Haven's historic Edgewood Park for this beloved run! For the early bird registration, sign up by Sunday, 4/20! 

​

The proceeds of this event will support all of LEAP's future programming. Our LEAP kids are busy learning and building community together through the new phonics program, a revamped aquatics program, and college application readiness resources. Run with us to support their growth and achievements!

​

The 5K timed run, 5K untimed walk, and $5 Kids Fun Run courses will stay within the beautiful and historic Edgewood Park. The untimed 5K walk is designed for all ages. The 5K distance is computer timed. Only 5K timed runners are eligible for awards.
