Over 2,000 Participants Expected for 2024 Father’s Day Branford Road Race
The 44th Annual Branford Road Race takes place on the Branford Green this Father’s Day, June 16th. Top runners are joining over 2,000 participants to compete for Connecticut’s 5-Mile State Championship. The event includes the 5 Mile Race, 2 Mile Health Walk and 1 Mile Family Fun Run. The 5 Mile course features six aid stations and live music at five locations. The community event expects to draw thousands of spectators to the Branford Green.
The post-race celebration on the green includes a brunch for all participants, an awards ceremony and a Medtronic check presentation. All participants receive a complimentary food ticket with several food options on race morning. Options include: a Continental Breakfast, a Pancake Breakfast served at the Branford Rotary Club Tent, or an egg sandwich served at the Italian American Club Tent.
Participants are welcome to head to Stony Creek Brewery afterward for the post-race party. Beer will be provided from 10:15am-2:00pm for $14 a ticket. Tickets are available for purchase during online race registration ONLY. Runners may purchase multiple tickets. Runners under 21 are free.
“For over 40 years, we’ve been privileged to receive unwavering support extended by the Branford running community, the town, and its residents,” said Ray Figlewski, the President of the Branford Road Race. “The dedication of local government, the enthusiastic spectators, and the diligent municipal departments has been instrumental in ensuring the success of our event, year after year. I am so grateful for the collective effort, which has contributed immensely to the community and our charitable partners.”
