The race was staged by the Avon High School Booster Club.

AVON, CT — The Avon Booster Club hosted the Falcon 5k Road Race under unseasonably (and unexpectedly) warm, sunny skies on Sunday.

More than 100 runners and fans started their day bright and early on the AHS track — some wearing costumes, some wearing race gear, and all wearing smiles. The club congratulates the race winners, and thanks the many parent and student volunteers who made the race possible.
