Hamden Hosts 5th Annual Road Race

From The Town of Hamden: Mayor Curt Balzano Leng would like to remind residents and visitors that the 5th Annual Hamden Road Race will be held Saturday, June 3rd, in Hamden Town Center Park (2761 Dixwell Avenue). All proceeds from the race will be donated to the Town of Hamden's Community Services Department Camp Scholarship Fund. This fund helps families with financial need afford the cost of summer camp for their children.

The event will include a 5k run, a 1k Kids Fun Run, a Health & Wellness Expo, and plenty of activities for the whole family. The 5k road race will start at 9:00 a.m. and will offer runners some rolling hills in the first mile but reward them with a downhill finish. The 1k Kids Fun Run will be held entirely inside Hamden's Town Center Park and will start at 8:30 a.m. The Health & Wellness Expo will be a great opportunity for vendors, sponsors and advertisers to showcase their products and services to a large, healthy-minded audience.

Current sponsors include Stop & Shop of Hamden, Gaylord Physical Therapy Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Albertus Magnus College, Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies, Shop Rite of Hamden, Specialty Wire & Cord, The Hamden Rotary Club, the Hamden Youth Services Bureau, the Hamden Police Department, FCMcpa Group, LLC., T.M.
