More Than 1,200 Competitors Expected at Kelly’s Angels Mother’s Day Run/Walk

SARATOGA SPRINGS — More than 1,200 runners and walkers are expected to participate Sunday, May 10 in the 14th annual Kelly’s Angels Mother-Lovin’ 5K Run/Walk at Saratoga Spa State Park.

Kelly’s Angels is an all-volunteer Capital Region charity that aids local children who have lost a parent or principal caregiver to cancer. It also helps families who are fighting serious illnesses.

Founded by NewsChannel 13’s Mark Mulholland in memory of his wife Kelly who passed away at 37, Kelly’s Angels provides grants to children, dozens of college scholarships to graduating high school seniors, and financial support to families struggling with a life-threatening illness.

This year’s Mother-Lovin’ 5K begins with registration from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m., a kids’ fun run at 8:45 a.m., and the 5k run/walk at 9:15 a.m. An awards ceremony will be held at 10:15 a.m. 

The event will be based at Saratoga Spa State Park’s Orenda Pavilion. Free parking will be available in the Saratoga Performing Arts Center lot off Route 50. There will be auctions, food, music, and more. New this year: all registrants get a free car wash from Hoffman Car Wash.
