Endurance Racing in Connecticut

Connecticut's compact geography packs a surprising density of endurance events into its scenic New England landscape. Road races wind through charming colonial towns, along Long Island Sound, and through the rolling hills of the Litchfield countryside. The Manchester Road Race on Thanksgiving Day has been a tradition since 1927, drawing over 12,000 runners annually. Triathlons take advantage of the state's lakes and coastline, while trail running thrives in state parks and along the Appalachian Trail. Connecticut's fall foliage season makes October the prime month for distance racing. The proximity to New York City and Boston means Connecticut athletes have access to the world's biggest races within a short drive.
