    Are you ready for the NEXT BIG THING in running?

    As trend setters, the Shoreline Sharks are always on the cutting edge, and we are proud to introduce THE PERFECT TEN & Five Mile Road Race! We brought back the 10K a decade ago and now we are introducing a 10 Miler and 5 Miler that will be your new favorite! You've done a million Half Marathons and 5ks, so your next goal has arrived.

    This course is 100% on the flat Rail Trail in Hamden with NO TRAFFIC AND NO STREET CROSSING! A simple out-n-back format. We start and finish from the Rail Trail Lot that we use for the Hamden Hills Half Marathon & Flat 5K and The Rail Trail 10K Race. We are sticking with what has worked for 15 years!

    • The 10 Miler starts at 7am (to beat the heat) and has a 2:30 cutoff (15 minute/mile pace). Aid Stations with Poland Spring Water & Gatorade Endurance at Miles 2.4, 5 and 7.6. You run out 5 Miles and back. No turns, No cars! Net gain of 150'. Super flat and shaded.

    ARC RUN 2026

    Please join us for our largest fundraiser of the year to support our mission and community impact! The Arc Run 2026 includes two on-site races on September 19, 2026, as well as a virtual race spanning August 19 - September 19.

    The on-site 5K and 10K races utilize our USATF-certified course beginning and ending at 200 Research Parkway, Meriden, CT. For us, our course passes through portions of Meriden and Wallingford to emphasize our deep roots and decades of service to both communities. For you, our course allows your race to be a marathon-qualifying time (stay tuned for details)!

    Want to support the Arc Run but don't want to actually run? Consider becoming a sponsor or simply a sideline cheerleader! There are plenty of ways to show up and be part of our community. Contact us for more information.

    Choose between a 4 or 9 mile trail race in the Cockaponsett State Forest in Chester, CT.

    The 4 miler is the first part of the 9 mile course. The course consists of roots, rocks, muddy sections and several hills. The first 1/2 mile is on a road which helps spread the runners out prior to the start of the trails. Water stations are at miles 2, 4, 6 and 7.

    NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION. Bib pick up opens at 8 am. Race starts at 9 am. Please note if you have out of state plates, the park requires you to pay a parking fee.

    FREE registration to runners 75 or older.

    Trails to a Cure is part of the Blue Blazed Trail Race series.

    All proceeds benefit PanCAN in memory of Steve Hancock.
