The 25th Annual Laura's Garden Community Run

Laura's Garden Community Run offers a 5K and 3K race in Old Wethersfield, Connecticut, both starting at 9:00 AM EDT. This is the 25th year for the event, which begins on Garden Street in front of Hanmer Elementary School and uses Standish Park at 200 Hartford Avenue as its location. The course offers a New England village setting with tree-lined streets, preserved colonial architecture, 17th-century homes, parks, and the nearby Connecticut River. Laura's Garden organizes the run with a focus on community and environmental biodiversity, linking nature-based learning and outdoor education to the race's purpose. The 3K is available for walkers, families, and younger participants, while the 5K provides a standard distance for regular runners.
