Winter Wonderland 5 Miler
The Winter Wonderland 5 Miler is an annual athletic event held in Milford, Connecticut. This edition marks the 46th year of the competition, which is organized by the Milford Road Runners, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The event takes place in late January and offers two distinct participation options for athletes and enthusiasts:
- 5 Mile Race: A timed running event covering a distance of 5 miles.
- 2 Mile Walk: A non-competitive walking category.
Registration for the event follows a specific timeline, typically opening in late November and closing at the end of December. Both the run and the walk require a registration fee.
Proceeds from the event are used for community initiatives. These include funding scholarships for Milford High School seniors and providing donations to local charities. Additionally, the event supports the Kid's Track Summer Series, which is a program of free weekly track meets for children hosted by the organizing club. The event centralizes its activities around the Milford area, utilizing local routes to facilitate the timed race and the walking course.
