Celebrate! West Hartford FUNd RUNS
The Celebrate! West Hartford FUNd RUNS are a set of community running events held in West Hartford, Connecticut, with activities centered at Town Hall and Blue Back Square. The runs take place alongside the town's two-day outdoor festival and direct a portion of proceeds to The Town That Cares and the Leisure Services Scholarship Fund to help children from low-income families attend lessons, camps, and other programs.
