About O'Neill's 5K
We're back in June again - giving you extra time to train! All the same amenities - great course, shirts, raffle and the best post-race party in Fairfield County. Sweetheart discount entry fee through Valentine's Day, Luck of the Irish discount through St. Patrick's Day, then regular price through race day. If you can't make it physically, you can still join us from afar by participating in our Virtual 5K Run, 1 Mile walk, or 1/2 Mile Kids Fun Run.
T-shirts to the first 600 entrants - size satisfaction based on availability.
In June Again!
2024’s switch to June worked so well we're doing it again.
This year's date is Sunday, June 7. An extra 3 weeks to train!
Special Youth Pricing
Kids under 10 run for free (no shirt). 11-18 pay $18 through June 6, $23 race day.
O'Neill's 5K Offers VIRTUAL Option
We realize that some may not be able to participate in person but would still like to support the Norwalk Education Foundation: With that in mind, we are continuing the Virtual options we offered last year with great success. The way it works is you run 5K wherever you want in the week preceding the race date, submit your time via text or email, and it's compiled with everyone else's results online. We'll even set up the RaceJoy app to help you record and submit your performance automatically.
We've also added a one-mile Health Walk and a Kids Half Mile so more people can get involved. And what's great is you can do it anywhere in the country (or world - we may have a special Ireland division). It makes it easy to get distant friends and family involved.
You'll still get a T-shirt, which you can pick up during specified time frame at the pub, or have it mailed to you.
This year's race date is June 2. You can start your effort any time in the week beforehand - and if you don't like your first time, you can take a Mulligan and do it over
