Abner Oakes III Veterans Run 10K
The Abner Oakes III Veterans Run is a road race in Hamden, CT that includes a 10K alongside other shorter options. Proceeds from the event benefit House of Heroes Connecticut, a nonprofit that provides one-day, no-cost home repairs for Connecticut military and public safety veterans and their surviving spouses. Since 2012 the Connecticut chapter has completed hundreds of projects across the state.
The course uses the Farmington Canal trail on an out-and-back route with no traffic intersections to cross. Water stops are provided at measured points along the route. Packet pickup is held on race day and same-day registration is available at the race site. Pets are not allowed at the event due to sanction regulations.
Registration includes race entry, chip timing, race day parking, and an event T-shirt; shirt availability depends on registration volume prior to race day. Awards are given to overall finishers and to top finishers within multiple age groups, with age calculated on race day.
Location details list the Farmington Canal parking lot on Sherman Avenue in Hamden. The race is dedicated to honoring a Navy veteran and founder of the Hamden Veterans Commission and supports the local veterans service work of House of Heroes Connecticut.
