SARATOGA SPRINGS —Registration has opened for Kelly’s Angels’ annual Mother-Lovin’ 5K Run/Walk, which is returning to Saratoga Spa State Park on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 12 to raise money for children and families in need.

The 12th annual event will again serve as the main annual fundraiser for Kelly’s Angels’ mission to help families who have lost loved ones to cancer or other illness or are battling life-threatening conditions.

“We would love for you and your family to join us for our morning of fun for a great cause,” said Kelly’s Angels founder Mark Mulholland. “Last year was our best Mother-Lovin’ 5k yet, and we plan to make it even better in 2024.” 

The activities on Mother’s Day step off at 8:45 a.m. with a free Kids’ Fun Run in which children ages 9 and under race toward the finish line with moms and dads rooting them on or running alongside.

The Mother-Lovin’ 5K begins at 9:15 a.m. It is Kelly’s Angels’ signature annual fundraiser and much more than a walk (or run) in the park. It features an auction of great prizes such as restaurant gift certificates, wine, fitness and beauty baskets, and gifts for kids. There will be complimentary goodies, including chocolate milk from King Brothers Dairy, Westy’s Cider Donuts and gelato from Saratoga Gelato.

Advance registration is $30 for individuals, race-day registration is $35. In-person participants will receive a commemorative shirt, but t-shirt sizes will only be guaranteed for those who sign up by April 19. Individuals, families, and teams are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. 

Online registration is open now and continues through May 10 at 2 p.m. Sign up at KellysAngelsInc.org. Those participating in person can pick up their registration packets in advance on Saturday, May 11, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Orenda Pavilion. Day-of-race registration and packet pickup begins at 7:30 a.m. Sunday, May 12 at Orenda Pavilion.

Now in its 14th year, Kelly’s Angels has brought much-needed joy to hundreds of Capital Region children who have lost a parent or primary caregiver to cancer or other illness or event. Kelly’s Angels was founded by NewsChannel 13’s Mark Mulholland in memory of his wife Kelly. who passed away at the age of 37, leaving behind the couple’s 7-year-old son Connor and 5-year-old daughter McKenna. Since then, Kelly’s Angels has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants and scholarships to Capital Region children and families.
