MANY THANKS TO OUR GREAT SPONSORS, RUNNERS, OUR TOWN POLICE, AND THE CONSTRUCTION CREW THAT FINISHED THE BRIDGE FOR US TO RUN OVER LAST YEAR!

YOU ALL MADE IT A GREAT RACE DAY!

 

WE WERE ABLE TO USE OUR ORIGINAL COURSE - which we will be on again this year.

Besides the new bridge in mile 11 you’ll be treated to a wonderful, smooth, and awesomely scenic Valley Forge Rd along the reservoir. And yes- the challenging 12th mile...

 

Our 5K course was not affected and we had a RECORD number of participants! Let's do it again.

 

The Weston Kiwanis Club and The Weston Kiwanis Club Foundation, Inc. are honored to host the Fourteenth year of the Reservoir Run Half Marathon, 5K, and Kids Fun Run.   We encourage you to join us for the Kiwanian's premier event. The Weston Community, Police, Town, and Schools join together every year to bring you one of the finest running events in CT.

The challenging Half Marathon course has terrific Autumn colors and scenery- especially along the reservoir- to keep you relaxed & 'occupied'! The Town of Weston offers challenging hills and some spectacular views.
 

 

BOTH COURSES START AND FINISH NEAR THE FRONT OF WESTON HIGH. 
The exact locations will be clearly marked.
Starting procedures, and race finish protocols will be compliant with any COVID rules if needed. 

 

The 5K course has some rolling hills.  It's a simple loop course with all right hand turns on quiet roads.
