The Connecticut Humane Society team at the Mystic Half Marathon & 10K brought together runners, fundraisers, volunteers, sponsors, and pet lovers from across the community for an unforgettable day of impact and compassion. Thanks to the incredible dedication of participants, 18 fundraisers have already raised $5,050 toward the $6,000 goal — with a few days still remaining to cross the finish line.

Every mile completed during the race weekend created brighter futures for pets in need throughout Connecticut. Local pets like Watseka, Small Fry, and Carolina represent the lives that have been changed through community support and participation in the Mystic Half Marathon & 10K. There is still time to support CHS pets!

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, and showed support throughout the race weekend. The compassion and generosity shown mile after mile continue to create safer, healthier futures for pets across Connecticut.
