Tappen Brook 5K - Bridgewater, CT
The 3rd Annual Tappen Brook 5K takes place in Bridgewater, Connecticut on August 9, 2026. The event uses the recently opened trail network at Bridgewater Town Park, located at 221 Tappen Road, and runs through the park’s forested areas near Lake Lillinonah.
The course follows packed dirt and natural trails with gently rolling hills, subtle elevation changes, and wide paths. Runners will pass through wooded sections and have views of nearby water. The route is described as offering a mix of off-road trail surfaces and more compact footing.
Organizers are the Bridgewater Land Trust and the Bridgewater Recreation Commission. The event provides race-day participation gifts for all entrants and awards prizes to top finishers. The atmosphere is described as community oriented, with space for families and spectators to watch along the course and gather at the park after the run.
Registration for the event closes on August 8 at 11:59 PM ET. The description focuses on the course setting, surface type, and local organizing groups without specifying competitive categories or eligibility requirements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
