STAR's Walk, 5K Run & Roll

Our 5k Run (and 1 mile walk) takes place on the scenic grounds of Sherwood Island State Park in Westport. Conveniently located off I-95 exit 18, this park has some of the most scenic views along the CT shoreline. There won't be any traffic to worry about as you run or walk on tarred paths, cinder trails and hard-packed beachfront. Our events benefit STAR, Inc., Lighting the Way, non profit organization that has been a leading provider of support and services to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Mid-Fairfield County Connecticut since 1952.  In addition to the official 5K, the event includes a shorter Walk/Roll for families as well as continental breakfast, lunch, kids' fun bus, face-painting, balloon sculpting, crafts, music, dancing and more....all on Sherwood Island's seaside park grounds!  Everyone who signs up gets a commemorative tee-shirt. Prizes for runners of all age categories, and more!
