Race4Chase in 2022 TCS New York City Marathon
Chase Kowalski was an amazing son, brother, and friend who was taken from us on 12/14/12 in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. Chase’s heart was filled with love and he touched all of the people that he came into contact with. He loved sports of all kinds and had an incredibly competitive spirit. Among Chase’s favorite sports were baseball, auto racing, and running. Chase began running competitively at age 2 in track races. At age 6, Chase asked to be entered into his first triathlon – in his first-ever competition, he took on the field and won his age group!
He has inspired the Race4Chase Kids Triathlon Program which will serve close to 900 young athletes ages 6-12 years this summer to become triathletes! Many of the participants learn to swim or bike during the program. Learn More
Come and be inspired by Chase to run with the Race4Chase Team at the 50th Anniversary of this historic race. Raise funds for CMAK programs including the Race4Chase Kids Triathlon program!
**2020 Race4Chase Phoenix Program successfully concluded**
After cancelling the 2020 Race4Chase Kids Triathlon Program due to the coronavirus outbreak, fifteen sites in Connecticut and Rhode Island successfully completed the abbreviated two week training program and staged their individual Race4Chase Kids Triathlon Finales.
