Faxon Law New Haven Road Race on September 5

New Haven, CT: The Faxon Law New Haven Road Race has selected Grey Kupiec’s colorful retro logo from a number of designs submitted for their t-shirt contest.  Kupiec, a long-time race participant, is now a 3x winner of the t-shirt contest.  The design will be featured on over 6,000 race shirts.

Kupiec states, “This race means a lot to me, it’s in the city I love, and I have run it a number of times. It’s always exciting to see my design on thousands of shirts, but this year winning round trip flights from Avelo is really special!”

The event takes place Monday, September 5 on the New Haven Green. The races consist of a half marathon, relay, 5K, Town Fair Tire Kids Fun Run, and the signature 20K.  The Faxon Law New Haven 20K again hosts the USATF 20K National Championship. The race expects to feature a number of past champions and U.S. Olympians. This year marks the 31st year a national championship event has been held in New Haven, making the race the longest running USATF Championship.

U.S. Olympians Jared Ward (2016 Marathon) and Aliphine Tuliamuk (2021 Marathon) are committed to running this year’s race.  Erika Kemp (2021 20K Champion) joins Ward (2015 winner) and Tuiliamuk (2016) as past champions coming to New Haven.

Packet pickup is Friday-Sunday of Labor Day weekend, participants can pick up their bib and shirt at Corsair, the luxury apartment building in the East Rock neighborhood. The race expects a return to pre-COVID registration numbers.  Early registration is encouraged as the participant cap is 4,500 runners.

We are encouraged with participation levels so far this year, expecting nearly 5,000 people on Labor Day.  The event’s success over the past 45 years reflects the support we receive from the City of New Haven, our sponsors and the local running community.” The New Haven Road Race would not be possible without the support of Faxon Law Group, title sponsor since 2007.
