The Women’s League of Westport organizes the 48th annual Minute Man Race on April 25, 2027 at Compo Beach in Westport, CT. Net proceeds support the League’s Grants Program, which has distributed over $4.3 million in grants since 1956 to charities in lower Fairfield County.
The event program includes adult races and a Kids Fun Run with an accompanying Kids Zone available during and after the races.
Adult race distances:
- 10K run (6.2 miles)
- 5K run/walk (3.1 miles)
Kids Fun Run distances:
- 50 yard dash for ages 3 to 5
- 100 yard dash for ages 6 to 7
- 1/2 kilometer for ages 8 to 9
- 1 kilometer for ages 10 to 12
Awards are given for the 10K and 5K to first, second, and third place male and female finishers. All Kids Fun Run participants receive a medal or ribbon. Runner services are provided before and after the races and include water, fruit, and crackers; a separate food station is available in the Kids Fun Run area. Bathroom facilities are located near the main pavilion, marina, and skate park. Parking is free within designated Compo Beach gates and in the adjacent Soundview dirt lot; no beach sticker is required. Strollers must line up at the back of the pack for safety. Dogs are not permitted on the beach except for service dogs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
