Over the years, road races have left Bridgeport, leaving local athletes without nearby competitive opportunities. The Bridgeport Mile changes this by offering high school students and community athletes the chance to race in their own city, helping them prepare for the upcoming season while inspiring a love of running among residents of all ages. Since 2021, CT Run Co. has supported Bridgeport High Schools' Cross Country and Track & Field programs, recognizing the life-changing impact of running. This inaugural event will support the Field of Dreams Program.
Running through Hemlock Hills Ridgefield, the 4.25 mile course (single loop) and 8-miler (approximate double loop) run through beautiful and lush Ridgefield Open Space trails. It's technical, rocky, and sublime, and benefits the Ridgefield Conservation Commission. Enjoy music on the course, food at the finish, and those sweet trail race vibes.
The Gemstone Sparkle Sprint is back for year two! This vibrant 5K trail event, hosted with the Prospector Theater and CT Run Co., invites runners, walkers, and families for a day of fun, food, and communityall in support of the Prospectors mission to create meaningful opportunities for people with disabilities.
