Family Connections DadsDay Run 19824 Sussex Road Sunday, June 19, 7:30 am Registration 8:30 am-5 mile / 9:30 am-1 mile / 10 am-KidSprint Start Sunday morning showing everyone you’ve got what it takes to run (without being chased) when you lace up your kicks for the Family Connections DadsDay Run. Choose the five-mile or one-mile race. Kids can enter the KidSprint. The race is a Father’s Day tradition unlike any other in Shaker – so special, in fact, that it draws returning participants like Michael Mills and his wife, Dionis Gauvin, from as far as Washington, DC. Mills stumbled upon the race three years ago when he and Gauvin were in town to watch a baseball game. Mills ran the race and Gauvin, who was pregnant at the time, gave moral support. The couple doesn’t have any family in town, but returned to run in 2014 with their infant son, Merritt, in the stroller. Last year, they came back again, entering the toddling Merritt into the KidSprint. “The event is really what a race should be – small, familyfocused, and fun,” says Mills.
