Over 600 participated in annual Ridgefield Road Race in Ridgefield 

The Pamby Ridgefield Half Marathon and 7-Miler raised over $7000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield in conjunction with its 43rd annual race on September 22, 2019.

The race attracted over 600 participants this year, and featured the members of the Boys & Girls Club managing the water stops and the finish line areas. “Through runner donations, support from sponsors Pamby Motors, Karla Murtaugh Homes, and The Iris Fund, and race proceeds we are happy to support The Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield, truly a gem in our town,” said Nancy Barlow, Race Director for the Ridgefield Half Marathon & 7-Miler.

“We were excited to host and thrilled to accept the generous donations from the community. Our members had a great time helping out at this community event and it will help contribute to our award-winning programming and support one of our core values of sports, fitness, and recreation,” said Mike Flynn, BGCR’s Executive Director.

Run On Events, a locally-owned race management team, is dedicated to producing fun fitness events with local flavor for all ages and abilities.

The mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield is a youth activity center designed to offer programs for school-aged children after school and during vacations in five core areas: The Arts, Character & Leadership, Education, Health & Life Skills, and Sports, Fitness & Recreation.

The 2020 Ridgefield Half Marathon & 7-Miler is planned for Sunday, September 20th. Businesses interested in partnering with the 2020 Ridgefield Half Marathon & 7-Miler should contact training@ridgefieldrunning.com.
