A fun way to honor our veterans....
The Connecticut Veterans Day Patriot Race is a fun and motivating event in our state to recognize and honor our brave men and women who have served. All veterans and their families know about sacrifice and patriotism; and this event is an opportunity to celebrate and support the veteran organizations who serve them.
Following the race, the American Legion hosts a "Canteen" with hotdogs and chili and camaraderie with Veterans.
This was the best organized, managed race I have run in a long time. The course, while not what i would consider flat (my watch recorded 17 flights of stairs climbed), was a fast, fairly easy run. I can't explain why that is but it was scenic and there were people around every corner cheering you on.
