Middletown 10K & 5K Run/Walk presented by Eli Cannon's Tap Room

A springtime road race through the idyllic campus of Wesleyan University in Middletown! Both races loop around campus, while the 5K finishes, the 10K takes another loop before a fast downhill finish on Old Church Street. All finishers receive a high quality short sleeve technical shirt and enjoy a post-race party on Union Green, adjacent to the finish line, with fresh hot pizza from Mondo and beer (21+ with ID) courtesy of Eli Cannon’s Tap Room. 5K & 10K CHALLENGES: Motivate the running season with these two NEW multi-race goals. A great reason to keep up the effort with three unique 5K or 10K courses, custom swag at each race, and a commemorative medal to be proud of at the completion of the series. Start off in Middletown in April, then join UConn Health in June and end with Old Wethersfield in August to earn an extra commemorative medal for the extra efforts.
