Christopher Martin's Christmas Run

Christopher Martin's Christmas Run for Children is a flat 5K held in New Haven, Connecticut, starting at Christopher Martin's Restaurant on Upper State Street, looping through Downtown New Haven and Wooster Square, and returning. The race is a family-friendly event with a festive post-race party featuring live entertainment, refreshments, an awards ceremony, and free beer for those 21 and older, with festivities moved outdoors this year. All participants receive a custom pint glass with their bib, and long-sleeve tech tees are available for purchase.

A toy-donation option lowers the registration fee, supporting the mission to brighten holidays for local children; the race has donated over 60,000 toys. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
