Course, logistics and charity
The in-person route starts at Fowler Park Pavilion (behind the Milford Library) and follows Shipyard Lane/Elton Street, Gulf Street past Gulf Beach, Buckingham Avenue near Calf Pen Meadow, and New Haven Avenue before looping back to the start area. All routes use sidewalks; no roads will be closed and participants must follow street laws. Two shorter out-and-back options are clearly marked: a 1-mile option and a 2-mile option. Virtual participation is permitted for those who take part remotely.
The event is run entirely by volunteers. One hundred percent of registration fees and website donations are designated for local Milford charities, including Milford Public Schools, Purple Pantry Boxes, and Avery's Little Army. Total money raised to date is listed as $111,000, with recent yearly amounts: 2021 $8,000; 2022 $20,000; 2023 $38,000; 2024 $45,000. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
