| The Fairfield Half
Marathon and 5K are very popular races. The 5K race is
flat and fast while the Half Marathon is a challenging and
scenic course. The event added a kids run in 2007.
The kids run will be back for 2008.
We hope to see the future of running participating. The
Half Marathon (CT06008JHP) and
5K (CT06010JHP) are both certified courses. |
