NEWTOWN, Conn.—Newtown will hold the town’s first-ever half marathon as part of the Newtown Community Running Event Aug. 30. This day of fitness and community spirit includes a 10K run/walk, 5K run/walk, and a kids run, making it a truly inclusive event for residents of all ages and abilities.
This year’s event carries special meaning, as it supports the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Association, whose dedicated volunteers respond whenever their community needs them most. Participating—whether by running, walking, volunteering, or cheering—directly helps sustain the vital services they provide.
The course will showcase the beauty of Newtown, but it’s the people who bring the event to life: families trying their first 5K, seasoned runners tackling 13.1 miles, kids discovering the joy of racing, and neighbors lining the streets to encourage them.
All Newtown residents and neighbors from surrounding towns are invited to join in on Aug. 30. Registration is available at runsignup.com.
