Ridgefield Road Fest 50th Anniversary
Ridgefield Road Fest presents multiple road races in Ridgefield, Connecticut, with courses that pass through fall New England scenery and roads in southern Ridgefield. The event base is at 41 Governor Street, Ridgefield, CT, and the main course begins on East Ridge Road above the Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield.
The routes include a mix of gradual climbs, rolling sections, two looped portions that contain some of the flatter miles in town, and a downhill segment into downtown Ridgefield before returning to the Boys and Girls Club.
Distances
- 13.1 Miles half marathon
- 7 Miles 7 miler
- 3.1 Miles 5K
Team entry options are available for the half marathon, the 7 miler, and the 5K with separate registration settings.
The event lists registration windows in late 2025 and early 2026 and a common registration close date of March 30, 2026. Entry fees vary by race and by individual or team entry category.
The primary beneficiary is the Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield, a youth activity center offering programs in five core areas: The Arts, Character and Leadership, Education, Health and Life Skills, and Sports, Fitness and Recreation. The 5K supports the Iris Fund, which is dedicated to research into triggers of preterm labor and to support families facing high risk pregnancy and loss.
Donations of $10 or more through the registration platform earn raffle entries; a $25 donation earns two entries. Prizes will be announced later. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
