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.
