Valley of Hartford 5K Road Race

The annual Valley of Hartford 5K Road Race raises funds to support the Children’s Dyslexia Centers of Connecticut. These centers offer one-on-one tutorial sessions to children valued at $5000/child and also offer teacher training programs valued at $10,000/tutor. The main campus is located in Waterbury with satellite offices in Bridgeport and Hartford. All proceeds are distributed to the Children’s Dyslexia Centers of Connecticut.

In 2023 this race generated just over $30,000 thanks to all the runners, donors, and sponsors and we hope to do better this year thanks to your generosity.
