About the event

The Southbury Hoof It For Haiti 5K Run & Walk-a-thon is a USATF certified, mostly flat, fast course over Southbury city streets and beautiful scenic country roads with gentle/rolling hills. 

This past year our sponsors, through their generosity, have made access to healthcare in Grand Boulage a reality!!  On Monday, October 10th of 2016 over 100 patients were seen by the first visit by Dr. Wilken's mobile medical clinic that made this historic first step towards a healthier population in our parish village.  Funds raised in this annual race will continue to support this mobile medical clinic which makes weekly visits to Grand Boulage, and will continue to pay for teachers' salaries, textbooks, canteen and other classroom supplies in the primary and secondary school there. We are extremely grateful for your on-going commitment to the people of our twin parish in Haiti!  Your help is definitely needed to continue this great mission; as we grow and expand our outreach to Grand Boulage.
