A @ReddingSentinel reporter reached out to interview runners who completed 169 towns in The Redding Great Turkey Escape 5K. We connected him with John Senia and Dawn Shaw—they crushed the interview! The article turned out great 👏 Read it here: reddingsentinel.org

Check on your running buddies today! With no races in the state, they might be experimenting with a bizarre new sport called 'Sleeping in on Saturday Morning .' Warning: They may be slightly disoriented and overly rested! 😲 #WhereAreTheRaces

Exploring the racing scene in Connecticut! In 2023, out of the 169 towns, only Bethany, Eastford, and Washington did not host an official timed race.

As we bid farewell to 2023, let's celebrate our accomplishments. Share with us any running-related achievement from this year that you're particularly proud of. Let's inspire each other with our stories!

A big shout-out to Heather Park for maintaining a race listing that is simpler and more accurate than any other in the country. Try finding races in other states, and you'll have to sift through numerous advertisements only to receive partial listings. run169towns.org/upcoming-rac…
