Course Tough Tiger is an adventure-based course, geared toward kindergarten through 5th grade students and their families; however, people of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate. There are two course options: a 1.5 mile loop through the neighborhood streets and nearby woods, and a shorter adaptive course that stays on neighborhood streets and sidewalks, making it more accessible. The shorter course also has more adaptive features to cater to a range of abilities. Both courses start and end at Hampden Meadows School. Participants can choose, on the day, to complete the longer or shorter course (or both). There is no need to indicate a preference when registering. For more information on the two courses, see the course map. If you are not sure which course is most appropriate for you, or someone you know, please contact HMS. T-ShirtsThe first 1,000 registrants will receive a performance Tough Tiger T-shirt. T-shirts will be available on the day of the race. RaffleMany th

This is a 5k race in memory of Drew Ceppetelli who passed away on Thanksgiving morning. This is an event that honors her life and raises funds for a scholarship in her name. This is a way for friends, family, and community members to come together and remember her while raising money for a fund used for people to better themselves, a cause that was important to her. The race is an untimed event, which means that participants can run or walk the course at their own pace. The course is designed to be beginner-friendly, with mostly flat terrain, and is suitable for all fitness levels. Participants can register for the race in advance below or on the day of the event between 8 and 9 AM. Donations for the scholarship fund can be made during registration or on the day of the event. Participants are encouraged to wear pink shirts (either those made for the 5k or something similar).  The 5k race is more than just a run. It's an opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate a li
