Runners test themselves during this hilly course through rural New Milford, including the famous Canterbury Hill. 5K runners enjoy a challenging and scenic course up into New Milford, and both races finish on the south side of the town green.
Both the 8-mile and 5K race will start at 8:30 AM sharp.

1/4 Mile Kids Run The GreenCalling all 8 and under runners! Join us for our 2nd Annual "Kids Run the Green" on Saturday July 27, 2024. We're excited to be offering a race just for our kids, to happen in tandem with our 8-Mile and 5K road races. Once the 8-mile and 5K runners clear the start line, we kick off a .25 mile run up the northbound side of main street, crossing over near First Congregational Church, and then back down, crossing the finish line near the corner of Main St. and Bank St. The first 50 kids will receive a magnet and an official "Kids Run the Green" t-shirt. Registration is just $5 and what a great way to get our future runners ready for the bigger races!
