Laps for Lucy 4 Mile Run/Walk

Why 6.5 km or 4 miles?

Cystic Fibrosis is not easy for kids to pronounce so they have been taught early on to say "65 roses" an thus 65 is a very common number in the CF community. It is about a 4 mile route through Stonington.

Is there a time limit?

2 hours which equates to 30 minute mile for those walking the course.

Can I donate directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation?

Yes. Please use our Farrar Fighter's page for the New London Great Strides. CLICK HERE

Are there any other events for Cystic Fibrosis?

The Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis is May 4th at 10am. Join the Farrar Fighters here.

What swag do I get for completing the 6.5 km run/walk?

There is an optional add-on shirt if desired to purchase. All finishers will receive a medal. There will be snacks and drinks at the start/finish and around the course.

Are you looking for sponsors?

Yes. Please reach out to the race director if you know of anyone willing to sponsor.

Interested in Laps 4 Lucy Pledge Run

Register for the Pledge Run.

Ask for sponsors for your run based on how many laps you can run in 65 minutes.

Upon completion of laps, go back to sponsors and ask for donation based on number of laps completed.

Ask friends, parents, teachers, coworkers, family and strangers to pledge anywhere from $0.01 to $100 PER lap.

Laps will occur at Deans Mill School track which is .15 miles.

Examples:

You get people to pledge $5/lap total. You train and run a 10:00 mile for the full 65 minutes. You covered 43 laps in the 65 minutes. After the race your friends and family donate for your laps for a total of $215 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

You are a pledge walker. You ask your friends and family for pledges and get $19 per lap from a total of 40 people. You walk a mile every 20 minutes and complete 3.25 miles in 65 on pledge walk day. 3.25 miles is 21 laps at Deans Mill School so you raise $399 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Each pledger only donates an average of $10 but the impact is much larger.
