ARC Run 2026
The ARC Run is a community-focused athletic event held in Meriden, Connecticut. This event serves as a fundraiser to support local community impact and service missions. The on-site races take place on a course that travels through portions of both Meriden and Wallingford, reflecting the history of the organization’s service in these two areas.
Participants can choose from several event distances and formats:
- 10K (USATF Certified Road Race #CT16038JHP)
- 5K (USATF Certified Road Race #CT16039JHP)
- Virtual 5K (Available from August 19 to September 19)
The on-site courses start and finish at 200 Research Parkway. Because the 5K and 10K tracks are USATF-certified, these races offer the opportunity to record a marathon-qualifying time.
The event features competitive elements and community activities. Cash prizes are awarded to the top-performing male and female runners. Additionally, all registered participants are entered into a prize raffle. An on-site vendor fair is held during the morning of the event, and community members can participate as sideline cheerleaders or sponsors. Check-in and opening ceremonies take place prior to the race start, followed by an award ceremony where cash and raffle prizes are announced.
