Welcome

Nick Biancucci Memorial Site  

 

Nick passed away as a result of a car accident on July 7th, 2006. He was on his way back to work at 4:30 in the afternoon. The simple, honest intent here was to create something positive from something tragic. We decided to do something for the current and future youth of Harwinton. We completed contruction of two outdoor basketball courts in Harwinton. The courts are located within the new Harwinton Sports Complex located at the end of Bentley Drive in Harwinton. They were completed in 2009.

We are continuing to hold the following two fundraisers. The Harwinton 5k Road Race and the Nick Biancucci Memorial Golf Tournament. This is our continued commitment to our son Nick and to the town of Harwinton.

The 4th Annual Harwinton Road Race will take place on Sunday, June 26th 2011. The race will again start and finish at the new Harwinton Sports Complex located at the end of Bentley Drive. We welcome both walkers and runners. Please click on the LINK below for additional information.

The 6th Annual Nick Biancucci Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Sunday, September 25th 2011 at Gillette Ridge Golf Course in Bloomfield. Please click on the LINK below for additional information.

I’d like to extend a most sincere thanks to all those who have either donated to our cause or have participated in either the golf tournament or the road race over the last few years. We are hopeful that you can once again participate in either of these 2 fundraisers this year.

***Road Race Route Change***

Simply, we have reversed the route after giving careful consideration of feedback from runners over the past 2 years regarding the course difficulty. I personally ran the route in reverse prior to the change and it definitely is an easier route to run. It was nice to go down Delay Rd. rather than up. It also provides for a great finish as the last 1/4 mile is flat and declines a bit. I am confident you will be happy with the change! Please see updated Road Race Route Map.

Walkers Welcome !!

Awards, Prizes, Refreshments at conclusion of race.

Kids Fun Run at Noon (Free)

Once again, the 5k Race will both Start and Finish at the Nick Biancucci Memorial Basketball Courts located on  Bentley Drive in Harwinton, Ct. Please click on the Harwinton Road Race Link below to access additional information to include directions and to download a Registration form.

Proceeds from the Road Race will go towards improvements and maintenance at the basketball courts. Also we continue to honor a scholarship in memory of Nick for a Lewis Mills High School Graduate. 

 We hope you can be a part of our day once again. If you’ve yet to experience this event, and can make plans to come and run, walk or watch- I guarantee it will be more than worth your while.

Thanks in advance for your consideration. I sincerely look forward to seeing you there this year !!
