Pretty flat looped course, 1 loop for the 5K and 2 loops for the 10k. It’s a pretty area with old houses and pond. The race was well organized with plenty of aid stations (it was really humid), with Nuun and water at each one. Swag was a tech tshirt. Make sure to get there at least an hour before the start, parking fills up fast. Post race food included bagels from a local bakery, gluten free granola, a bottle of water, and bananas. I was mildly disappointed that there weren’t any medals or post-race beer, the race organization usually has both. Overall good race and will probably do it again.
Great local race!
I’ve run this race twice and both times it’s been super well organized, and old Wethersfield is so lovely and charming. Not too crowded, highly recommend! MORE
