Description

Please join us for our 6th Annual A.W. Stanley Park 5K to benefit Special Olympics Connecticut! Each year the event has more and more runners. This year, medals will be given to the top 3 finishers in various age groups for in person participants.

The race is a scenic and enjoyable route with some rolling hills. It begins and ends at the same location! The race is contained within the park with the exception of a brief leg on the sidewalk along Stanley Street to accommodate more runners safely!
