Run the Ridge Week Debuts with Races and Events Celebrating Ridgefield

Run the Ridge celebrates the Ridgefield’s Community of Runners

Ridgefield Running Company wants to get you moving by combining two of Ridgefield's most iconic races into a week long‘ Run the Ridge’ celebration. The week kicks off on Sunday, September 15 with Where the Pavement Ends, a 4.3-mile trail race through Ridgefield’s beautiful
Hemlock Hills. Run the Ridge Week ends with the 43rd annual Ridgefield Half Marathon & 7-Miler presented by Pamby Motors.

Mid-week events include early morning and evening social runs, special in-store events and speakers at Ridgefield Running Company.

“Fall is the best time of year to run and Ridgefield Running Company wants everyone to experience it. The week will offer opportunities for walkers and runners from beginner to expert to be outside” says Nancy Barlow, Director of the Run the Ridge week. Runners who complete both Where the Pavement Ends (September 15) and The Ridgefield Half Marathon (September 22) will receive an exclusive Run the Ridge neck gaiter.

As part of the Run The Ridge week, Scott Jurek, ultra-runner and New York Times best-selling author will speak on Saturday, September 21 at the Ridgefield Library. This program is part of the Noreen L. Papa - Mothers: Live Your Life series and is co-sponsored with Ridgefield Library, Ridgefield Running Company, and Books on the Common.
