Yale-New Haven Hospital Diaper Challenge- We encourage all runners to bring a package of diapers to the race to donate to The Diaper Bank. Yale-New Haven Hospital will match (up to 15,000) the diapers donated by race participants. The Diaper Bank seeks to provide diapers to as many needy children as possible. They are a local, volunteer driven non-profit organization dedicated to helping young children and their families in New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford. For every package of diapers you bring, you will be given a raffle ticket, good for a chance to win a special prize, courtesy of WPLR.

Fundraise Raise $100 or more for The Diaper Bank for a free entry into this year’s race.
