It was a great day at the Suffield Parks and Recreation/First National Bank of Suffield 10K and 5K Run!

A GREAT DAY FOR THE 10K ROAD RACE AND 5K RUN!!


The 2015 36th Annual 10K Road Race and 11th Annual 5K Run was held on Saturday, September 12. The weather was sunny and beautiful and the temperature perfect for running in this popular annual event!

We had runners from New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and many areas of Connecticut! Several runners even ran both the 10K and the 5K! There were many spectators and volunteers along both courses to support and cheer on the runners! Police and Explorers as well as EMS bikers were on the courses providing safety for all.

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone involved in all aspects of this event, including the runners for making this day a great success.
