Overview

Runners get the chance to trek the country roads of this small, affluent town less than an hour outside New York City at Weston’s annual Reservoir Run Half Marathon, which unfolds along a loop route that passes by the Saugatuck Reservoir at its northernmost end in the first half of the race.

Course Description

Planned as a fundraiser for the Weston Kiwanis Club to benefit the club’s foundation as well as the nonprofit organizations Purple Heart Homes and Eliminate, the race is expected to draw as many as 700 runners for its first running ever, which is set to start at 8:30 AM on the track and field oval at Weston High School, on School Road just off Newtown Turnpike.
From there, runners make a clockwise loop around this town of just over 10,000 residents, with tree-lined stretches that run past Devil’s Den Nature Preserve, the Morehouse Farm Park and Trout Brook Valley Preserve.
Between miles 4 and 6, the course features a run past the Saugatuck Reservoir — for which the race is named — a stretch where runners will get to see water rushing over the dam and into the Saugatuck River, with a boulder-lined waterfall between miles 6 and 7.
