Hamden to Hold Road Race June 4

From the Hamden Mayor's Office:

Hamden, CT — Mayor Curt Balzano Leng would like to remind everyone that the 4th Annual Hamden Road Race is almost here! 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 Hamden Road Race will be held at Town Center Park (2623 Dixwell Avenue) on Saturday, June 4th, 2016. 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.

Hamden is continuing its strong partnership with one of the largest event management companies in Connecticut, Team Mossman Events (TME), to organize the race. This year, the Hamden Road Race is expecting over 2,500 combined runners, spectators, volunteers and vendors for its fourth run.

"The Hamden Road Race is a great day of fun in Town Center Park. It's a family oriented
event with opportunities for everyone to enjoy. With all proceeds going to the Camp Scholarship Fund, it’s truly a day of a community building right in the center of Hamden. There will be lots of activities for kids, free give-aways, and much more," said Matthew Fitch, Town Center Park Commission Chairman.

The Hamden Road Race promises to be a premier event in the region and will continue to grow in size and scope over the coming years. Hamden Town Center Park, the event venue, offers easy access from all across the state. The event is a collaborative effort between the Town of Hamden and its Board of Education, Chamber of Commerce,
Youth Services Bureau, and Rotary Club chapter.
