The Experience
Join Team Be Happy & Lindsay's Legacy Foundation for the 8th Annual running of the Be Happy Road Race. We're so excited to announce we're moving to Ellington, CT!!!! To date we have raised and donated over $100,000 to The Lindsay's Legacy Foundation Fund to support clinical trial research. All donations made support Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Cancer Center’s mission to pursue the latest advances in cancer research. With your help we hope to continue to support these programs. One hundred percent (100%) of participant registration fees are donated to this research which enables innovative cancer treatments and therapies to be made available as impactful as possible to patients at Smilow Cancer Hospital who have been given a devastating diagnosis. Final details regarding the course and start/finish locations are coming soon! We are excited to announce that prize money continues in 2026!!! We will be awarding sponsor provided cash money to the top 3 overall male and female finishers…
