Tappen Brook 5K - Bridgewater, CT
The Tappen Brook 5K is the third annual run through Bridgewater Town Park in Bridgewater, Connecticut, held on August 9, 2026. The event is presented by The Bridgewater Land Trust and the Bridgewater Recreation Commission and takes place on a recently opened trail network.
The course follows packed dirt and natural trails through woodlands, with gently rolling hills, meandering paths, and views of Lake Lillinonah. Paths are described as wide with subtle elevation changes. The layout emphasizes off-road trail running rather than paved roads.
All participants receive a race-day participation gift, and awards are given to top finishers. The event is described as having a small-town, community-focused atmosphere and welcomes spectators to watch along the course and gather at the park after the run.
Additional logistical information provided by the organizer notes registration closes on Saturday, August 8 at 11:59 PM ET. The description focuses on the new trail setting, the managing organizations, and basic participant amenities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
