Event
Details
Hosted by the locally based Wolfpit Running Club, the Ridgefield Pamby
Half Marathon has been a staple on the local running circuit for more
than a generation, as the race marks its 32nd annual running in the
fall of 2008. The course for the race takes runners on a loop course
along the rolling country roads through and just outside the town of
Ridgefield, which lies in the foothills of New England's Berkshire
Mountains in the southwestern portion of Connecticut.
From the starting line near the Richard Venus Municipal Building on
East Ridge Street, the
course takes runners southward along East Ridge and makes several
twists and turns as it makes its way toward the Silver Spring Country
Club, where runners will encounter a 4 1/2-mile loop part of the course
that they run around twice. After finishing this loop, runners follow
Olmstead Lane to Wilton Road and Main Street, along the race's home
stretch to the downhill finish on Market Street. Considered very fast
and flat by race organizers, the event begins
promptly at 8:30 AM.
Race
Weather & Climate

New York City, the town of Ridgefield can experience moderately cool to

Come prepared for wet weather, as the monthly rainfall total averages
just over
