The 4th Annual Robert J. Lynes Memorial Road Race is a 5K run/walk race with a kids Fun Run just before. It is being held in memory of Bobby Lynes who was a lifelong resident of Meriden.
In high school Bob ran on the track team at Orville H. Platt High School. Throughout his life he volunteered in Meriden for many different organizations such as:
The Meriden Daffodil Festival
The Meriden Men's Softball League
The Meriden Girls Softball League
The Meriden Soccer League
Boy Scout Troop 43
Castle Craig Playhouse
Francis T. Maloney High School Props and Paints
The Francis T. Maloney Marching Band Pit Crew
Monetary donations and proceeds from this road race will go into The Robert J. Lynes Memorial Fund for the preservation and beautification of Hubbard Park. Proceeds from previous years races have gone towards a beautiful bench put in the park dedicated to Robert for anyone to go and sit on and enjoy the beautiful park, as well as a donation made to plant more daffodil bulbs and a donation was made to the Daffodil Festival for the 45th anniversary fireworks display for 2025! We hope you can join us in honoring him and his dedication to the city and park that he loved, Meriden’s beautiful Hubbard Park.

Beginning at 9:15am with the National Anthem, the Fun Run will then take off at 9:30am. The Soldier Stroll and 5K will follow starting at 10:15am with the walkers to start in back of the runners.

It began with Lt Col Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled.
As his flight landed, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt Col Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac. Among them was the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob.
Since that night, Lt Col Rooney has committed his life to rallying patriotic Americans and meeting sacrifice with hope through the Folds of Honor. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled military and first responders. On our watch, those who protect our freedoms and our families will know they are not forgotten.
The CT Veterans Day Race features a 4-mile race, 3 mile walk or a 3-mile Ruck, either live or virtual options are available. We are proud that 100% of the proceeds go directly to CT veteran organizations who service at risk or needy veterans.
A Grass Roots Running and Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club event in honor of a local legend, Mike Slinskey.
Sunday, November 8th @ Bowdoin Park, Wappingers Falls, NY

Slinskey Surprise: Immediately following the 5k - 400 meters ALL OUT, for grit and turnover! Coach Mike would occasionally have a "Slinskey Surprise" on random days when he thought the kids needed an extra push!
Join us as we lace up and hit the trail in tribute to beloved Hudson Valley runner, Coach Mike Slinskey - a man whose passion for running and the community around it was unmatched. In May 2025, Mike was diagnosed with a brainstem tumor, and after a courageous battle, he passed away on June 20, 2025 - just ten days after celebrating his 56th birthday. Today, we honor him in the most fitting way we know; by running.
In his memory, we continue this 5K, to keep his legacy alive and to help others find strength and joy in every mile, just as Mike did. All proceeds from this event will support the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA), the nation’s oldest nonprofit dedicated to brain tumor research with the intent to fund early detection and patient education; GlioLeo, a local non-profit offering resources and community to families affected by GBM; and to fund the Our Lady of Lourdes scholarship set up in his name.
Last year we had 300 people race, had 26 sponsors, well over 40 volunteers and raised over $7,000 for these causes. Thanks to runners like you and our generous sponsors we were able to come back this year with hopes to raise even more for our chosen charities. We hope to see you again in November, not only for a good cause, but for a good time.
we run today.....

Monson Memorial Classic Half Marathon and 5K
The Monson Memorial Classic road race was started in 1996, shortly after the deaths of Kelly Waldron and Kathy Waldron Perry. These sisters died eight months apart from different types of cancer. Kathy suffered with melanoma, and Kelly had breast, bone, and liver cancer. They were wonderful, loving people. This race is in their memory, and past proceeds have gone to American Cancer Association of Western Mass, American Lung Association, Quaboag Valley Hospice, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This year we are giving proceeds to Griffin's Friends.
Griffin's Friends was founded in 1994 in Springfield, MA and named in honor of Griffin Kelleher, who lost his courageous battle with cancer at 14 months of age. Griffin's Friends is a nonprofit group that provides support to children who are stricken with cancer, and their families. To learn more, visit www.griffinsfriends.com
On race day, please bring canned goods to donate to Open Pantry. We will have a collection area at the race.

Why We Run
The Hillacious Half was created to honor our military — to thank them and ensure their sacrifices are never taken for granted. The course is intentionally tough, representing the effort and endurance our service members face every day, often far from their families. This is a bare bones race with no prize money and no frills — just grit, sweat, and the satisfaction of finishing one of the toughest courses around.
All proceeds after race expenses go into a fund to support local military personnel and families who need a helping hand. Funds are distributed directly through the Hillacious Half, never to large agencies. Both the first-place male and female finishers have their names engraved on perpetual trophies housed at the Morgan-Weir American Legion Post 27 in Litchfield.
We run this race in honor of those who serve and have served — carrying their strength with us up every hill.
Dog Tags
For an additional cost, participants and supporters can honor a veteran or service member with a personalized dog tag:
Runners: Add a tag during registration for $10.
Supporters (non-runners): Order a tag for $20.
Each tag is engraved with your veteran’s name and any additional info that fits.
Order by Oct 28 to have your tag ready for race day.
By wearing a dog tag, you bring that person “with you” on the course. It may be the motivation you need to conquer the next hill — and you keep it as a lasting honorarium.
Race Options
Half Marathon (Solo)
13.1 miles of no-nonsense toughness. No medals, no prize money — just sweat and pride.
2-Person Relay
Two legs (~6–7 miles each). Separate timing and awards.
4-Mile Walk (Timed)
Same course start, then loops back for ~4 miles. Starts after all runners (~10:05 A.M.). Includes all runner amenities — yes, a beer at the finish.
Proceeds & Impact
100% of proceeds after expenses are held in a local fund for military members and families needing a helping hand.
Funds are distributed directly by Hillacious Half, not via agencies.
Beyond financial aid, your food and coat donations support local pantries and shelters.
