About the event
The New Milford River Run 5K, a New Milford RiverFest event, is the Ostomy Foundation's signature fundraising annual event. It is held during the Town of New Milford's two-day Riverfest, which takes place at Young's Field along the Housatonic riverfront.
The 5K will take participants along a USATF-certified course (CT18028JHP) following the Housatonic River on Young's Field Road to Boardman Road and back. The course has minimal turns and little elevation change. The popular course - the same one used for the former Moonlight Run - has attracted many runners looking to set a new personal best.
One of the best features of the event is participants can enjoy the beauty and charm of New England on a late fall afternoon (4:30 p.m. start) while expriencing the many offerings at Riverfest.
Walkers are welcome, too.
