"The Waz" Junior Road Race Series:
The CCAP and the Connecticut cycling community suffered a tremendous loss in 2020 with the passing of our dear friend and ardent supporter, coach, and volunteer, Matt Waskiewicz. Matt’s wide smile and open arms were a welcome sight to all, especially those new to our sport; not a day goes by without “The Waz” in our thoughts.
Coach Matt’s ability to find the natural athlete and foment drive and ambition in every young rider brought out the best in us all. Our goal is to continue his passion with renewed vigor as we open our 2025 road racing season.
Additional Event Notes:
All USAC Rules Apply. Helmets required. No Tri-Bikes or forward-facing bar ends. No sleeveless Jerseys. ALL riders will need either an annual license or purchase a $15 one-day license via bikereg.

Downtown Manchester Improvements Project
The Manchester Road Race Committee has been assured by Town officials that the proposed Main Street redevelopment plans will not adversely affect our iconic Thanksgiving Day run.

Distance: 8.3 km from Manchesterat 4:00 AMSee full details
If you’ve done a traditional 5K, you know they can be a bit lackluster. But the BUBBLE RUN™ is like running through Willy Wonkas’ factory. Clad in white t-shirts, adults, kids and strollers run, walk, dance and play across up to 3 miles of absolute fun! Waves start every 3-5 minutes. Participants will run through the Foam Bogs where there is enough colored foam to cover you from head to toe!
Bubble-teers will also be there to help make sure you get your share of the frothy goodness. Each one of the Foam Bogs is represented by different colored foam. So what if you should accidentally “taste the whimsey?” They don’t taste as great as they are fun, but not to worry. The foam is 100% safe.
Event details and schedule
Please plan on arriving 30-45 minutes prior to your wave start to give yourself plenty of time to park, get your Bubble RUN™ swag, check in if needed, and to get situated.
Please be prompt for your Heat.
Once your heat has started, (the heat is the time you registered for) small waves will be released every 60-90 seconds. Your physical start time is based on a first come-first serve basis, so naturally you will start earlier if you enter the start chute earlier. The last wave within your heat will go out 30 minutes after your scheduled heat (i.e., if your registered heat is for 8AM, the last wave in your heat will leave at 8:30AM).
Bring some extra cash for parking and SWAG!
After you park, bring some extra cash! You'll want to check out our super sweet Bubble RUN store for t-shirts, tutus, and more!
There may be a parking charge of up to $20 for the event that is handled by the venue. With THOUSANDS of smiles present on race day, please have exact change and please don't cut your time too short before the race starts. Cram as many bubblers (legally) into your car to save some cash money money!
