CIAS (Council of Italian-American Societies) and BACIO (Bridgeport Area Council of Italian Organizations) will host a 5k (3.11m) Run, 1 mile walk, and Kids Fun Run at Seaside Park on Columbus Day Weekend.
We plan to bring the community together with a morning of active fun in Bridgeport’s most beautiful shoreline and historic public places. Honoring the rich Italian-American heritage of Bridgeport on the Columbus Day Weekend has been a long tradition for the Italian-American Societies!
So we say ANDIAMO! LET’S GO and CELEBRATE! For our inaugural event, members of the Marine Corps Band who will be giving concerts at the Klein Memorial over the weekend, will be amongst the runners and will play the National Anthem at run/walk start.
WE OFFER THREE EVENTS DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE ALL ABILITY AND AGE LEVELS- all held entirely within the park and closed to traffic.
OUR 5K (3.11m) route is accurately measured and starts from the Perry Memorial Arch. The course provides a scenic tour along the coast on very flat and accessible roads and sidewalks with beautiful water views. You can run or walk in our computer timed 5k event, ALL abilities are encouraged and welcome. Our courses are well marked with signs, cones, mile splits, and volunteers has been designed to keep you safe and free from traffic. ONLY 5K finishers are eligible for awards.
OUR ONE MILE WALK is a wonderful alternative for those not wanting to take on the 5k distance. Families, youngsters, adults, strollers… enjoy a great one mile loop within Seaside Park Finishers at the distance are not eligible for wards.
OUR FREE KIDS FUN RUN & SCAMPER is for 9 years and under ONLY. Parents/guardians can accompany the kids if needed (to avoid drama!)
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED – you can enjoy snacks, refreshments and fluids. Gather with friends and community members on the lawn. We hope this event will bring people together, promote connections and join in support of our charities.
