2106 Sono Half Marathon and 5K kids fun run

Runners will enjoy a unique and exciting course through historic South Norwalk, along beautiful coastline, down charming picturesque tree lined streets and past many of Norwalk’s notable landmarks and attractions.

The day kicks off at 9 am with the start of the Half Marathon, which is immediately followed by the start of the 5K race. Children will enjoy crafts and entertainment until the Kids Fun Run begins at 11:30 am.

This year’s event has already raised well over $20,000 for local charities and organizations – surpassing last years’ donations. Additional funds will be raised at the event from beer and raffle sales with 100% of the proceeds going to benefit Norwalk based, Two Wheels Organization and The Courage to Speak Foundation.

Due to the high number of participants at this year’s event, temporary road closures will take place in South Norwalk from 9 AM until 10:30 AM. Exit 16 northbound, on I95, will be closed between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. In addition, lane restrictions and detours are planned for outlying areas of the course. Residents are advised to seek alternate routes. For details on which roads will be closed and to view the entire course, please visit www.sonohalf.com.
