Event summary

Join us for the Capalbo Strong Walk on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in the beautiful Fairfield, Greater Bridgeport area! This uplifting community event is dedicated to honoring the legacy of Charlie Capalbo, a beloved figure known for his incredible strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Since its inception in 2017, the Capalbo Strong Walk has brought together friends, families, and supporters to celebrate Charlie’s inspiring journey while raising funds for meaningful causes.

This year, participants can choose from various race distances, including a 24K walk that starts and finishes at the scenic Jennings Beach.

With a minimum fundraising goal of $300 for adults and $100 for virtual participants (free for kids under 12), your participation will make a significant impact. Come together to honor Charlie's spirit and create a day filled with community, support, and memorable moments!

Organiser's Description

The Capalbo Strong Walk is a community event held to honor Charlie Capalbo, a beloved son, brother, teammate, and friend whose strength, humor, and resilience inspired everyone around him. Founded in 2017 by a group of Fairfield Prep hockey moms during Charlies first battle with cancer, Capalbo Strong began as a way to rally support for him and his family. Over the next five years, Charlie courageously fought and beat cancer three times, facing both Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and Leukemia with remarkable grit and an unwavering positive spirit. Tragically, he passed away in April 2022, just one month shy of his 24th birthday.

Walk participants are asked to pay the registration fee and raise a minimum of $300 to help make a meaningful impact. Virtual participants are asked to pay the registration fee and raise a minimum of $100. (Fundraising is waived for Kids under 12!)

New this year, the 24K starts and finishes at Jennings Beach, keeping the entire experience close to home!

Dont let the full 15 miles intimidate you. The course is designed as a loop, so you can join for one 5-mile lap, two laps, or go the full distance, whatever feels right for you. At any point, youre never far from the beach, so you can comfortably stop whenever you choose.
