Run Ragged Last Person Standing

Miles for Migraine will host its 7th annual 2-mile Walk, 5K Run and Relax Connecticut event on Sunday April 12th at Hubbard Park in Meriden. This event is a fundraiser for Migraine & Headache Awareness, Treatment & Research. It's more than a walk/run - come connect with your local migraine & headache community, listen to our speakers & visit sponsors in the festival area.

The 5K run is professionally timed. The Walk and the Relax events are free, but donations are encouraged. All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal.

Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!

Funds raised will benefit Miles for Migraine free programs & services as well as the Hartford Healthcare Headache Center and Yale Headache Center to support local migraine research and fellowship training programs.

Fling Fanatic Series

Do the double - Spring Fling 600 and Fall Fling 400!

CT Trailmixers take pride in welcoming folks who are new to trail running! This event is a great opportunity to give it a try. We make it fun, with a well-marked course that offers a great variety of terrain and scenery. And you’ll get plenty of cheers and high-fives throughout the day — along with what some past participants have said is the best aid station spread they’ve ever seen.

Please join us for our 6th Annual A.W. Stanley Park 5K to benefit Special Olympics Connecticut! Each year the event has more and more runners. This year, medals will be given to the top 3 finishers in various age groups for in person participants.

The race is a scenic and enjoyable route with some rolling hills. It begins and ends at the same location! The race is contained within the park with the exception of a brief leg on the sidewalk along Stanley Street to accommodate more runners safely! A T-shirt is included with registration for in person participants, sizes from youth small all the way to adult xl. Bathrooms will be available on site.

New this year! Virtual options! Can't make the event but want to raise money for an awesome organization? Choose a virtual race and upload your results!
