Save the date to run for your life in Stamford’s newest Halloween tradition. Gather friends and family, plan your costumes and get ready to have a fun morning at the Stamford EMS Run For Your Life Goblins, Ghosts & Zombie 3K on Sunday, October 27, 2019.

The spirited, untimed event will start at 10am at the Stamford Town Center Outdoor Restaurant Plaza and follow a guided route in downtown Stamford. Enjoy music, giveaways and a Fall Festival at the finish line. There will be prizes for costumes and Halloween-themed participant medals for everyone. Visit https://www.stamfordems.org/run/ for additional details and to register – early bird pricing is just $25 until October 20th.

Proceeds from the run will benefit Stamford EMS to replace two ambulances that were damaged earlier this year in an electrical fire. Additional funds are needed to replace vital equipment such as stretchers, mechanical chest compression devices, and other medical equipment that aid paramedics and EMTs in maximizing the survival of patients on their way to the emergency room.

“We have a goal of raising $150,000 to replace these vehicles, said Patricia Squires, Stamford EMS Chief and C.E.O. “The addition of these new ambulances to our existing fleet will greatly increase the efficiency of our emergency response operations. We encourage everyone to participate in this new Halloween event that is going to be a lot of fun for the whole family.”
