“We are thrilled that the U.S. Open Championship Trophy Tour is stopping at Hope in Motion,” says Darien resident Liz Herbert, the run chair of Hope in Motion’s 5K and 10K runs. “Participants can take their photo with the iconic trophy and check out the special Lexus that is touring the country and driving the trophy to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for the 118th U.S. Open Championship on June 11 to June 17. The trophy will be at the Hope in Motion Walk and Run from 8 a.m. to noon on Sunday, June 3rd.

“We’re also thankful that the United States Golf Association has donated four tickets to this year’s U.S. Open Championship to the Hope in Motion Walk and Run,” says Herbert.

The Hope in Motion Walk and Run, which takes place on National Cancer Survivor’s Day, raises money for Stamford Hospital’s Bennett Cancer Center. More specifically, it raises money for much-needed patient services.

Thanks to Hope in Motion, cancer patients at Bennett Cancer Center receive free services, such as transportation to and from the hospital, relaxing and healing massages, mini-grants to cover non-medical expenses, soothing treatments like Reiki, reflexology, yoga and tai chi, workshops on how to manage their stress through cancer treatment and into survivorship and much more.

Hope in Motion’s 5K and 10K runs will both start at 8 a.m. at downtown Stamford’s Columbus Park. A 5K walk will begin at 10 a.m. at the same location.

Pre-registration for the 5K and 10K runs and the 5K walk is available at www.hopeinmotion.org until Thursday. Or, you can pre-register on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Columbus Park (near Curley’s diner). Or, you can register at the event. Same-day registration opens at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Plus, there will be generous prizes for the overall and age-group winners of the 5K and 10K runs. The overall male and female winner of the 5K will each receive a gift card to Endurance House in Norwalk, and the overall male and female winner of the 10K will each receive a pair of Beats Headphones.
