Tiny Footprints 5K and TDD Kids Fun Run

The Tiny Footprints 5K and the TDD Kids Fun Run bring together runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and athletic abilities to celebrate our NICU grads and remember those families who experienced a loss.

This event provides critical funding for equipment and programs for the NICU at UMass Memorial Children's Medical Center and supports the annual Infant Loss Memorial Service for families in our region.

Held at Polar Park in downtown Worcester, this is a good course for those taking on their first 5K, as well as competitive runners looking for a personal record. It's an easy walk for those who prefer using the 5K to share the time with family and friends.

The event day will be filled with festivities including a memorial service for families, DJ, fun run for kids, and face painting for kids. A baseball field concession stand behind home plate will be open with food, drinks for sale. There will also be some raffles that accept cash or Venmo. The park is credit card only.

Awards will be given for top male and female in three age categories: age 0-18, 19-49 and 50+. 

Registration is required.
