2023 RWR Kick-Off
Join us on Saturday, June 3, to celebrate Run.Walk.Ride. in-person for the first time since 2019!
Run.Walk.Ride. is Connecticut’s only charity run/walk/ride event that specifically aims to combat and bring awareness to the unique legal challenges experienced by Connecticut-based veterans. Over the last ten years, Run.Walk.Ride. has raised more than $1,000,000!
In 2023, we are excited to host a hybrid event. You can Run.Walk.Ride from anywhere, track your progress, and connect with others virtually. Then, join us for an in-person kick-off on Saturday, June 3rd where we will do the first mile together, cheer each other on, hear from community partners, enjoy live entertainment, and more!
FREE event. You do not need to register to participate in Run.Walk.Ride. to join us for the kick-off on June 3–all members of the community, friends, and families are welcome!
We are so excited to welcome all of you to the Norwalk Green! Tell us you’re coming by RSVPing “going” on our facebook event.
