The Murray Lender 5K Bagel Run, now featuring a Kids Costume Race, is a beloved community event returning to Woodbridge, CT on September 15, 2024. While the main 5K has a history of celebrating fitness with a tasty reward, this year's addition of a dedicated Kids Costume Race offers a fun and engaging experience specifically for younger participants. This event is more than just a run; it's a family-friendly gathering designed to promote activity and enjoyment for all ages. Participants in the Kids Costume Race should expect a short, non-competitive run or walk focused on the joy of dressing up and moving. While the primary 5K event typically takes place on a paved, relatively flat course, the Kids Costume Race's exact route will be tailored for young children, likely on a safe and accessible path within the event vicinity. The terrain will generally be a mixture of paved surfaces and potentially grass, with conditions expected to be mild in September. A notable feature is the emphasis on costumes, encouraging creative and playful participation for the children, making it a memorable and spirited event for families.
