Founded in 2024, Stamford Run Club has grown rapidly into one of the area’s most welcoming and consistent running communities. What started as weekly Wednesday night runs has become a movement—bringing together runners of all paces through shared miles, connection, and commitment.

• Created a race experience rooted in inclusivity, energy, and fun

This year’s event marks a major milestone with the return of a half marathon to Stamford for the first time in over 30 years, bringing long-distance road racing back to the heart of the city. Headlined by Kane Footwear and lululemon and supported by an incredible lineup of local sponsors and vendors, the race goes far beyond the start and finish line.

Runners can expect a vibrant race village at Mill River Park, premium sponsor activations and giveaways, professional timing and course support, and a community-first race-day energy that carries through to a post-race atmosphere that feels like a true celebration. To preserve the quality of the experience, registration is capped at 1,000 total runners across all distances, and early registration is strongly encouraged as this event is expected to fill.

5K runners will run or walk the course once,

10K runners will complete two loops,
