On Sunday, October 11, 2026, we hope you'll join us for our 4th Annual 5K Walk/Run To Save a Life at Devonshire Hall, 109 Sanford Street,Hamden, CT 06514.

The Run/Walk To Save a Life 5K is in honor of Christopher Andreozzi, who passed away unexpectedly from sudden cardiac death caused by an arrhythmia on May 23, 2023.
Thanks to your support, last year's event welcomed more than 450 participants, and together we provided Hands-Only CPR and AED training to families and community members. Every year, approximately 350,000 people in the United States experience an out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest. Immediate CPR and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can double—or even triple—a person's chance of survival.

Proceeds from the event support the CJA Charitable Foundation, Inc., which honors Christopher's legacy by raising awareness about sudden cardiac death and inherited arrhythmias, providing CPR education and AED training, placing lifesaving equipment throughout our community, and funding scholarships at Hamden High School and the Yale University School of Nursing.
The course is flat, fast and safe; with 100% of the course on the Farmington Canal Trail with no road crossings. We encourage both runners AND walkers. Registration includes an event t-shirt (as long as you sign up before the cutoff date).

Awards will be given for the top 3 overall Male, Female, and Non-Binary finishers, as well as the Top 3 Male and Female finishers in each age group.

Whether you walk, run, volunteer, or simply come to support the cause, your presence helps carry Christopher's legacy forward. Every participant, every sponsor, every donation, and every person who learns CPR brings us one step closer to making our community safer.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We hope to see you—and your family and friends—on Sunday, September 27 for another meaningful day of remembrance, hope, and lifesaving education.

The Run/Walk to Save a Life 5K has been canceled this weekend.

Packet Pickup is also canceled.

We have been notified by the Mayor and the Hamden Emergency Management Team that weather conditions are expected to worsen and as a result the Town has canceled the race due to the foretasted nor'easter, severe weather and high winds.

The Town determined that because the Farmington Canal Trail is surrounded by trees, and the anticipated conditions and strong wind gusts could create unsafe circumstances for participants and volunteers and the race may not proceed this weekend.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your continued support of our events and this great charity.

We very much hope to bring everyone together for the race on a new date and we are working with our team to explore rescheduling options. We will share an update as soon as we know more.

Thank you for your patience and for supporting this event in Christopher‘s memory.

We are so excited to have you consider joining us for our upcoming Run/Walk to Save a Life 5K, and we want to make sure you have everything you need to look and feel great on race day — including your official race shirt!

However, in order to guarantee that you receive a shirt, you must register before 12pm on September 16.

The volume of shirts we order is based on the number of registrations. The only way to guarantee a t-shirt and/or desired size is to register before the cutoff. We always order extra shirts but they go fast!

Don't wait — spots are filling up fast and the deadline is just around the corner. We'd hate for you to miss out on your shirt!
