Spring Street Mile & 5K Presented by PTSMC

The Spring Street Mile and 5K is a road race in Manchester, CT featuring separate races for men and women.  The mile course is point-to-point; the start is one mile from the finish. The check-in area & registration table is near the finish line so please plan accordingly. The 5K course starts and finishes in front of the Globe Hollow parking lot.  Restrooms are in the parking lot at Mt. Nebo, one mile from the Spring Street Mile start. The Spring Street Mile leaders will be extremely fast, we ask everyone to be humble about their start position and we will ask the fastest runners to start on the line. The 5k may also be fast, but you have a little more time to establish a position. We are pleased to once again be part of the USA Track & Field - Connecticut Road Racing Grand Prix circuit! You do NOT need to be competitive or be a member of USATF to participate. All are welcome to this exciting and fast challenge!

 

Notes:
This year's race is no frills - no giveaways, but a lower registration cost.  Add-on items can be purchased during registration and the day of the race.  Please register in advance.  Race-day registration will be paperless.  Everyone is encouraged to register in advance.  Race day pricing will reflect this encouragement. 
- No cash accepted on race day. 
- We will abide by all Town of Manchester and USATF guidelines regarding COVID-19. 
- The 5K takes place after the Spring Street Mile - come early to watch some of CT's fastest milers.
