About Consumer Reports 5K
For the first time in our 90-year history, Consumer Reports is opening up its Auto Test Center on Saturday, October 17 for a one-of-a-kind fundraising event. Participants will be able to run or walk on the iconic track where CR tests cars for safety and reliability–a beautiful, state-of-the-art, 327-acre testing center in Colchester, CT. After the race, participants and spectators are invited to stay for a demonstration and speak with the experts who conduct testing on site each day. Proceeds from the race will fund Consumer Reports’ non-profit mission–working for truth, transparency, and fairness in the marketplace.
Participation fee includes a t-shirt. Attendance is limited, so please sign up today! For T-Shirts, please note after Sept 15, we’ll do our best to accommodate sizes but cannot guarantee all sizes will be available.
This event is rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, we will monitor conditions closely and communicate any necessary updates or changes to registered participants.
