GREENWICH, Conn. — Greenwich will come together on June 6, 2026, for the inaugural “America’s 250th – Greenwich Community 5K & Fun Mile,” a community race and walking event celebrating local pride and the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Held under the theme “One Community. Two Distances. 250 Years of History,” the event will feature both a timed 5K and a family-friendly, mile-long “fun run” through scenic Bruce Park, offering an inclusive experience for participants of all ages and abilities.
Presented by the Bruce Museum and Greenwich United Way, with support provided by the Greenwich Road Runners, the “Greenwich Community 5K & Fun Mile” reflects a shared commitment to community engagement, wellness, and civic pride as the nation approaches its semiquincentennial. The event is part of the America 250 | Greenwich Commission’s yearlong celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
“America’s 250th is a meaningful moment to celebrate the history that shaped our nation and the community that continues to carry that legacy forward,” said Mary-Kate O’Hare, Ph.D., Bruce Museum’s Susan E. Lynch Executive Director and CEO. “All of us at the Bruce are proud to help bring Greenwich together for an event that combines civic pride, wellness, and shared purpose.”
“This event is a wonderful way to unite neighbors of all ages around a shared celebration of community spirit and local connection” noted David Rabin, CEO of Greenwich United Way. “We’re thrilled to partner in an initiative that encourages participation, supports community engagement, and honors this important milestone in our country’s history.”
The Bruce Museum and Greenwich United Way have created a unique logo for the “Greenwich Community 5K & Fun Mile” featuring the Yankee Doodle Dog created by the Greenwich Historical Society for the Town of Greenwich. Yankee Doodle Dog will be visiting the Bruce Museum on June 6 to cheer on the race participants.
