RESERVOIR RUSH

About the Event

Join us for the 2nd Annual Reservoir Rush 5k Run/Walk in Moodus, CT!

Discover the tranquil beauty of Moodus, while enjoying this 5K run/walk through the winding country roads, around the town's reservoir area with scenic water views on rolling hills of this running course. Show your most festive patriotic support by wearing red, white and blue!  This fundraising event is hosted by the East Haddam/Moodus VFW Post 3336. All Proceeds from this event will benefit Post 3336, and will be distributed to the following Veteran's non-profit organizations:

The House of Heroes of Connecticut,  a non-profit organization that helps our veterans (and their spouses) who are disabled, living on a fixed income, or facing other physical/financial challenges.

The Forever in My Heart Foundation program: VETS Valor a psychiatric & mobility service dog training to assist disabled veterans.

This event will not only bring together members of our community, but also increase the exposure of the VFW Post 3336 and the needs of veterans locally and around the State.  

Note: This is not a USATF certified course. It is slightly longer then a 5K due to the area's geography.
