Runners in the 10K Road Race set out at the same spot 15 minutes ahead of the 5K start.
The 2016 37th Annual 10K Road Race and 12th Annual 5K Run was held on Saturday, September 10. The weather was warm with a few rain drops early but cleared into a sunny day!
We had runners from New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and many areas of Connecticut! There were many spectators and volunteers along both courses to support and cheer on the runners! Police and Explorers as well as EMS bikers were on the courses providing safety for all.
We would like to sincerely thank everyone involved in all aspects of this annual event, including the runners for making this day a great success.
