Newtown Road Race September 1

The 7th annual Newtown Road Race 5K and Newtown Prevention Council Kids Run will take place at Dickinson Park at 9 am on Saturday, September 1.

Annually, this race draws 500-600 runners, plus another 200 children in the fun run and race organizers expect a big turn out this year. The gently rolling course begins and ends at Dickinson Park and incorporates both paved and dirt roads. 

T-shirts and goodie bags will be provided to the first 700 registered runners and there will be a post race celebration. This is a 100 percent volunteer effort and all proceeds benefit Newtown Youth and Family Services.
