We've never cancelled our event, but in order to keep you all safe, we decided to cancel the Rides for Saturday.  We are deeply saddened by this, but your safety is ERRACE's number one priority. THE 5K IS STILL HAPPENING at 9:00am, and everyone is welcome to participate, no matter what you signed up for - DAY OF REGISTRATION IS ON!  We will still have Pizza and Beer after as well.  We have everyone's T-shirts at the Cancer Center - if you're local, stop by, grab some pizza and beer along with your shirt - we'll be there all day.  Arrangements can and will be made to get you your shirt if you can't make it there.  As for pre-registered entry fees - an email has gone out with several options.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our co-executive director, Allyson Caputo, who passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer.  She was the driving force in the founding and running of ERRACE, an inspiration to all who knew her.  Her life was not defined by its length, but by its glory.  We continue on in her example of perseverance and challenge all of you to do the same.

ABOUT

The ERRACE organization was created by a group of professionals with common goals. Together we strive to raise the awareness of cancer, raise funds for cancer research and to inspire the community to be active and health conscious.

We bring together our expertise from multiple aspects of business management, healthcare, community work, fund-raising and athletic endeavors. We are excited to share a fun, safe and inspiring event with the community for years to come.

Our Annual Event is one big family oriented All-Day party with tons of food from local businesses, entertainment & music, bounce house inflatables, ice cream, massage therapists, Ferrari Concorso, giveaways, wonderful people and camaraderie between particpants.  We average around 800 participants each year and 2024 marks our 15th year. 

 

We offer 100/50/25 mile fulley supported road rides, and a 5k run/walk.  NEW for 2024:  The 5k will be timed!  The road rides are in and around the Farmington Valley, up to Westfield (Stanley Park) & Granville MA, around lake Congamond, on some of the best routes in this area.  The 5k run/walk is on the nearby Simsbury Rail Trail.  

From our inception in 2010 through 2020, our beneficiaries were the LiveStrong Foundation & Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center, Avon.  Together, we have raised over $2,000,000 for these organizations.

Since 2021, our primary Beneficiary has been the Helen & Harry Gray Cancer Center, Avon.

The founders of ERRACE established a Giving Account with The Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund to ensure your donations are fully tax deductible.
