About the race
The Ridgefield Road Fest marks a day of road races in Ridgefield, Connecticut, held in support of local charities. Races run on a looped course that starts on East Ridge Road near the Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield and follows rolling roads through southern Ridgefield, including a fast downhill into downtown before returning to the Boys and Girls Club. The course includes a few gradual climbs and two loops that contain some of the town's flatter miles.
Distances offered include:
- 13.1 miles (half marathon)
- 7 miles (seven-miler)
- 3.1 miles (5K)
There are also team-only entry options for the half marathon, seven-miler, and 5K with separate entry fees. Registration windows and fees differ by entry type; general entries open 12/31/2025 and team-only entries open 1/1/2026, with registration for all entries closing 3/30/2026. Posted entry fees include $56.00 for the half marathon, $50.00 for the seven-miler, and $35.00 for the 5K, with lower team-only fees listed for each distance.
The event's primary benefactor is the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield. The 5K supports The Iris Fund, which funds research on triggers of labor and provides support for families facing high-risk pregnancies and loss. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
