Courses de 10K près de Southwick

The Hillacious Half Marathon is a small road half marathon in Litchfield, Connecticut. It starts at 10:00 AM and has a deliberately bare-bones feel. The race, now in its seventh year, costs $50 to enter. Its challenging course is designed to reflect the grit, determination, and sacrifice of military service. The route goes through Litchfield, an old New England town featuring historic landmarks like the Litchfield Green, the oldest publicly funded town green in the United States. There is no prize money, so participants are typically runners seeking a hard effort and personal satisfaction. Proceeds benefit local military personnel and families in need. Winners' names are engraved on trophies displayed at Morgan-Weir American Legion Post 27.

Gordy's First Race is a New Year's Day road race in Westfield, Massachusetts, offering 5K and 10K distances. Participants begin the year by running up West Silver Street, often in winter conditions, with the event benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield. The race honors Gordon Bates, a member of the Empire One Running Club who previously organized races for the same club benefit. This tradition dates back to an annual half marathon and 10K held with the Boys & Girls Club, which saw 141 runners in its first half marathon. The current race maintains its focus on local running club heritage and its charitable mission: participants run a manageable distance on New Year's Day, with proceeds supporting the club.
