35th Annual Christopher Martin’s Christmas Run

The Law Firm of Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, P.C. has officially signed on as the presenting sponsor of the 2019 Christopher Martin’s Christmas Run for Children 5K! The event expects a crowd of nearly 2,000 participants on Sunday, December 8th. To celebrate the race’s 35th anniversary, the first 1,000 entrants will receive a custom commemorative pint glass! Over the past three decades, the event has donated over 60,000 toys to needy children in the New Haven area during the holiday season. With your help, race organizers anticipate a donation of over 3,000 toys for the SCSU & NHPD Toy Drive! As an additional incentive to donate, participants are offered a reduced entry fee if they donate a toy race morning. Toys can be brought to early packet pick-up, dropped off at Christopher Martin’s Restaurant, or submitted on race morning.

With the key sponsorship of Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante, P.C., the event is hopeful to collect hundreds of additional toys this year. Hugh Keefe added, “It’s True. Your gift does make Christmas unforgettable. Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante (“LTKE”) is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of the Annual Christopher Martin’s Christmas Run for Children. Our firm is committed to making a positive impact in the community. While we take great pride in standing for the rights of injury victims, we are also proud to help local causes. This Run is particularly important to us as all kids deserve to experience the joy of Christmas. We hope to make Christmas a little brighter for children in need by not only providing the joy of receiving a toy; but showing them that someone cares.”

The 5k race runs along State Street and Orange Street before passing the historic New Haven Green. The race starts and finishes in front of Christopher Martin’s Restaurant. The race kicks off at 10:30am. Participants are encouraged to bring their holiday spirit and run in costume! Following the 5k, Christopher Martin’s Christmas Run for Children hosts one of the nation’s best post-race parties!
