Race Courses: The 5K and Half Marathon have been altered. PLEASE CLICK ON THE MAP LINKS!
The Half Marathon Course has been changed due to Major Bridge Replacement on River Rd. by the Town of Weston. The DIRECTION of the Half M has also been REVERSED for a variety of reasons including runners' safety.
NEW HALF MARATHON COURSE MAP LINK- https://onthegomap.com/s/amnja6qq
The challenging Half Marathon course has terrific Autumn colors and scenery to keep you relaxed and 'occupied'!
BOTH COURSES START AND FINISH NEAR THE FRONT OF WESTON HIGH. The exact locations will be clearly marked as soon as our course measurements are complete in October.
Starting corrals, procedures, and race finish procedures will be compliant with any COVID rules if needed.
The 5K course has some rolling hills. It's a simple loop course with all left hand turns on quiet roads.
IT ALSO NOW GOES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION THAN IN THE PAST. This was done to have the same direction as the Half AND to reduce traffic issues and increase runner safety on Rte 57.
NEW 5k Course map link: https://onthegomap.com/s/qivrvei8
The Weston Roads are not closed but both courses are well maintained for safety. WE ASK THAT YOU RUN/WALK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF ALL ROADS AS INDICATED- FACING TRAFFIC FOR YOUR SAFETY- PLEASE!
AFTER YOUR GREAT RACE FINISH:
All Half Marathon and 5K Finishers will receive Finisher Medals.
RACE AWARDS will be presented ASAP after the results are recorded for the 5K and then later for the Half Marathon after the majority of the finishers are recorded.
