Tom Centinaro Memorial "Dam" Race

The Tom Centinaro Memorial "Dam" Race is a 3.5-mile trail run/walk held at Woodtick Recreation on Nichols Road in Wolcott, Connecticut. Taking place on a Saturday in October at 10:00 a.m., the event utilizes the Mill Pond Trail, marking it as a short local trail event rather than a road race or a long-distance challenge. The course is described by organizers as flat, making it accessible for walkers, newer runners, and those seeking a relaxed fall race. The Wolcott Lions Club organizes the event, with proceeds benefiting local charities and the Tom Centinaro Lions scholarship. Preregistered runners receive a race tee while supplies last. Registration also includes award-winning clam chowder prepared by a featured chef, establishing a distinct post-race tradition.
