Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Run for the Pumpkins Trail Run

Rhode Island DEM rules mandate that all participants and volunteers at the Run for the Pumpkins Trail Run wear at least 200 square inches of orange. This fall 5K and 10K trail event takes place at Bradford Preserve in Westerly, Rhode Island, with both races starting and ending at the preserve. The route starts with approximately one-third of a mile across an open grass field, allowing runners to spread out before entering the narrower trails. The course then proceeds primarily on dirt trails through Town of Westerly land and a section of Woody Hill Management Area, featuring both double-track and single-track paths. Course markings include flags and signs, complemented by seasonal decorations such as ghosts to enhance the pumpkin-themed atmosphere. While walkers are welcome, they are encouraged to opt for the 5K distance; dogs and strollers are not permitted on the course. Prizes will be awarded to the top overall male and female finishers and to winners in each age group, with food and refreshments provided to all participants post-race.

Barrington 5K Run Festival

The Barrington 5K Run Festival is a fall community race centered on a 5K Run/Walk, offering shorter options for children and families. The primary race guides participants through Barrington's streets and fields. The festival also features a 1-mile Fun Run and a 50-yard Kids Fun Run. The event marks its fifth anniversary under a new name, establishing it as a developing local tradition rather than a major destination race. Top male and female 5K finishers will each receive a $100 cash prize. 5K runners can obtain commemorative shirts by registering early, and pre-registered children in the Fun Run will receive finisher medals.

5th Annual Purple Light Project 5K

The Purple Light Project 5K begins at the IOL Campus on Retreat Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. The main 5K race starts in the morning, following registration and a free single-circuit Fun Run for children 10 and under. This community 5K is connected to behavioral health support and is open to youth and adult runners. Fast Track Timing will professionally time the event. The race generates funds for Purple Light Project patients. Every dollar from the 5K directly supports practical needs, including food vouchers, transportation, winter clothing, hygiene items, and comfort items for individuals in treatment. Awards will be presented to male, female, and non-binary runners across various age groups. Participants will also receive race shirts and reusable water bottles.

North Kingstown Firefighters Association Blazing Trail 5K

The Blazing Trail 5K is a fall trail run and walk held at Ryan Park in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. The 5-kilometer course follows park trails and benefits the North Kingstown Firefighters Association. This is the event's second year, and it is designed for both runners and walkers, not exclusively competitive racers. The race begins and ends at Ryan Park, with the course entirely within the North Kingstown park. Participants of all ages and experience levels are welcome, including first-time runners, families, local residents, and those walking to support the firefighters association. Early registrants will receive a race-day T-shirt, and top finishers in each age group will be awarded medals.

Gloria Gemma 5K

The Gloria Gemma 5K brings runners and walkers to the Rhode Island Statehouse area in Providence for a Sunday morning 3.1-mile run/walk each October. The event supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Flames of Hope initiative, beginning at 10am with race-day check-in opening at 8am. The public race information does not provide a street-by-street course map, but it locates the event at Station Park and the Statehouse area in downtown Providence. The field accommodates both runners and walkers; strollers are permitted behind the runners. Participants can form or join teams to raise funds for cancer patients in the community. The event recognizes top fundraisers and top teams, highlighting fundraising as an integral part of the race-day culture.

Apple Harvest Road Races

The Apple Harvest Road Races take place on a fall morning in Southington, organized by the Southington Community YMCA. The main races begin near Columbus Boulevard and the YMCA. The event offers multiple options for participants: a 5-mile race, a 5K, a middle school 5K, a 2-mile health walk, a Y CUP 1-mile race for fourth and fifth graders, and Little Fritter Fun Runs for younger children. The 5-mile race starts from the top of Columbus Boulevard, followed by the 5K from the same location. The health walk commences in front of the YMCA. Y CUP runners enter the course at the 2.1-mile mark of the 5K, and the Little Fritter races commence after the 5-mile and 5K races conclude. Awards are presented across numerous age groups for the 5K and 5-mile events. Local recognition is important, with distinct memorial trophies awarded to the top Southington finishers, including the Dave Gworek Trophy for the 5-mile race and the Tony Manning Trophy for the 5K.

Fishbein / YMCA Community Road Race

The Fishbein / YMCA Community Road Race is a running series in Wallingford, Connecticut, offering short distances: 1 km, 1.6 km, and 5 km. It takes place in October and is designed for local involvement, with options suitable for children, beginners, walkers, and runners seeking a standard 5K. The event has roots nearly 50 years old, originating from a Wallingford tradition established by Johanna Manfreda Fishbein. Over the years, it evolved into a town-wide collaboration, with various Wallingford organizations cooperating on the race.

Amica Insurance Women's Classic 5K Run & 3K Walk in Support of Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England

The Amica Insurance Women's Classic is a 5K run and 3K walk for women, held at Brown University Stadium on Elmgrove Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island. The main run and walk begin together in the morning. Student versions of both events are available at a reduced entry fee. The event benefits Ronald McDonald House Charities of New England, focusing on racing and fundraising alongside timed results. The 5K begins at Brown University Stadium, utilizing a certified, flat, fast course through Providence's East Side. The 3K walk, sponsored by Cardi's Furniture & Mattresses, mirrors the run's route, offering walkers the same stadium start and neighborhood course. Race morning also features children's races, a Kids Village, and a Health + Wellness Fair, contributing to a community atmosphere beyond a standard 5K.

The Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard

The Wine Run at Sakonnet Vineyard is a 3-mile trail race held at Sakonnet Vineyard in Little Compton, Rhode Island. All race activities, from check-in to post-race events, take place on the vineyard grounds. The race begins in the afternoon, with bib pickup available earlier in the day. Participants should plan to arrive at least one hour before the start to allow ample time for check-in. The course follows vineyard trails with uneven footing, including rocks, ruts, and typical trail conditions. This makes it a run that requires attention to your footing rather than a fast road race. Runners conclude the race among the vines and then remain for dinner, wine, and music at the vineyard. Each participant is given a souvenir wine glass. This event is part of the Rhode Races Wine Run series.

Ivoryton Pumpkin Chase

The Ivoryton Pumpkin Chase begins at Ivoryton Library in Ivoryton, Connecticut. It includes a 5K road-and-trail race and a Kiddie Pumpkin Fun Run for children age 7 and under. The event takes place during peak foliage season in southern New England, and registration includes a T-shirt. The race supports the Ivoryton Library and its programs, with assistance from the Essex Land Trust. The 5K route starts with approximately half a mile on North Main Street, then proceeds onto Falls River Drive before entering Falls River Preserve near the one-mile point. Within the preserve, participants navigate a 1.1-mile loop alongside the Falls River. The trail consists of about half a mile of double track followed by hilly, rocky single track. This combination of village road, preserve trail, and a family race distinguishes it as a local fall event.

Harvest Hope 5K

The Harvest Hope 5K is a Thanksgiving Day turkey trot held in Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood, with its focus on Central Park in northeast Denver. The primary race is a professionally timed 5K run on a USATF certified course. Families also have the option to include younger participants in a Kids 1K Fun Run. The 5K route utilizes the paths within Central Park, providing a neighborhood-park atmosphere as opposed to a downtown-street setting. This event was introduced as the first organized and timed Northeast Denver Thanksgiving Day race. Registration covers a race shirt, a goodie bag, complimentary race-day photos, and a commemorative key-chain medal upon completion. Proceeds are directed to re.

The EPFD Freaky 5k is a 3.1-mile road race in Rumford, Rhode Island. It starts and finishes at EPFD Station 3, located at 30 N Broadway. This is a community run and walk, not a complex race series, offering a single 5k distance and a local neighborhood atmosphere. Registration includes a T-shirt. The event connects with the East Providence Fire Department community via EPFD Local 850. The route guides runners and walkers through Rumford neighborhoods before they loop back to the fire station. Costumes are encouraged, aligning with the "Freaky" name. Awards are presented for both the fastest racer and the best costume. DJ entertainment and post-race refreshments are provided for participants and spectators. Proceeds benefit the EPFD Local 850 charity fund, supporting the East Providence community.

About 5K races in Norwich-New London-Willimantic, CT

Norwich Training Notes

Norwich-New London-Willimantic, CT hosts 108 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run a practical mix here, from short Z2 loops to longer road days inside the Norwich-New London-Willimantic radius. The area covers 57 km with 223 m of gain, so it works for a steady long run. SFFC 10K, Pfizer 10K, Bowtie, Needle's Eye, Mason Road loop, and SFFC 5K keep weekday intervals simple. Most routes run 6 miles and stay mostly paved before gravel and dirt show up farther out. Arcadia Park 5 miler gives you a clean park option. Ledyard Soccer Club anchors the 3rd Annual LSC Soccer Stride, and Norwich Winterfest 5K, Lisbon Fall Festival Road Race, The Conor Irwin Memorial Classic, and Groton City Brew Run fill the calendar.

Locals ride quiet back roads, rail trails, and gravel when they want base miles without making it complicated. The loop runs 1 miles with 2083 feet of hilly gain. Baltic, Scotland, Windham Center, and Norwichtown make that loop feel like a proper country-road day. Pequot Cyclists bring Sunday Morning Road Rides, Wednesday Night Pizza Rides, Saturday Rail Trail Rides, and gravel plans. Thread City Cyclers pull riders around Windham-Mansfield for 30 to 60 mile Saturday rides. Star Hill, Gungywamp, Burning Tree, Toll Gate Loop, Hillsdale-Old Mountain-NLT-Tug, and the Quiet Corner Bike Tour give climbers enough work.

The warmer months are the easiest time to train because Thread City Cyclers run organized group rides mainly then. May brings America's 250 Celebration Color Run 5K, Bailey's Garden 5K, Run the Vineyards - Jonathan Edwards 5K, and the North Stonington Education Foundation 5k and 2 Mile Walk. June brings the 3rd Annual LSC Soccer Stride and The Conor Irwin Memorial Classic, so summer has a race rhythm right away. August keeps legs honest with Mad 5K, and September adds Groton City Brew Run, Lisbon Fall Festival Road Race, and 5K River Run for the Fund. December shifts the mood to Norwich Winterfest 5K, while cyclists chase warm colder-month days.
