Suffield Parks & Recreation’s 39th Annual Charles Seger Road Race is a fantastic way to kick off a great weekend in Suffield! Runners and walkers, of all ages, took to the 10K and 5K courses that started and ended at Suffield Middle School. A host of dedicated volunteers from the community joined Parks & Recreation staff and commissioners, early Saturday to get the courses ready for the runners, along with Police, Fire, Ambulance, School Department, and Highway Department staff.
This year’s field of 100 runners came from communities across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and one from as far away as Texas. The road race was generously sponsored by The First National Bank of Suffield, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Highland Park Market, Select Physical Therapy, and Fleet Feet of West Hartford. Many area businesses donated raffle prizes that runners and families enjoyed winning.
This race is definitely a source of pride for Suffield.
