The people organizing these races have run over a hundred marathons and hundreds of other races. From what we've seen in these races, we're incorporating what we've loved into our races, while avoiding things that were unsatisfactory. We promise to try to make this the best, most organized race you've run.

These races are run on roads that we train on, they're awesome, and we are willing to share, at least for a day.

New Pond Farm is a great cause to raise money for, they have great programs for kids and adults and their people are so nice that it's a pleasure to work with them.

The Connecticut running schedule in early May is light and these races are ideally situated for training for Memorial Day races.

Your RD promises to be responsive. I will get back to you immediately on any e‐mail q's.

Just added - we'll be offering massage therapists at the end of the race.
