About the Move With MADD: 5K Run & 2 Mile Walk
The race runs on the campus of Fairfield University, organized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving as a New Year fundraiser. The campus setting gives it a contained feel, and the dual-distance format means the crowd at the start tends to be a mix of people there for different reasons, some there to race and some just to move.
There is a grab-and-go snack at the finish, which suits the early-year timing well. Beyond that, the start and finish are both on campus, so everything stays in one place.
