1 Miles 1k 5k Run Walk

Almost 50 years ago, Johanna Manfreda Fishbein started a tradition in Wallingford that would grow and change significantly over the years, bringing organizations throughout the town together to collaborate in an effort to support residents in need.

The Wallingford Family YMCA is proud to continue this tradition as host of the annual Fishbein/YMCA Community Road Race on Sunday, October 4 in collaboration with Celebrate Wallingford.

Hope to see you there!

    The Bimbler's Bash 10K (ish) has been an annual event since 2007 that has become popular event for competitive runners and family groups. In terms of participation in a single distance, the Bash is the largest event of it's type in Connecticut.

Participants should expect to negotiate lots of rocks, roots and possibly get your feet wet, plus with two rock scrambles be prepared for an adventure! This is a true trail race and the technical nature of the terrain will mean that you will be exposed to the risk of injury. While every reasonable effort will be made to ensure your safety and enjoyment, you must be prepared to accept full responsibility for these risks and sign the liability waiver on the application form as a condition of your entry.

    Please note that registration to take part in this event is only be possible on-line. On-line registration shall be available until 8:50 AM on race day.
