Shoutout to 223 runners at #Run169Day! You covered all 169 towns across the state. Check the word cloud for your name based on towns completed. Special nod to Brad, Georgia, and Maureen for running in 5 towns each! 🏃‍♂️🏅 Fisher Island's ZIP code conquered too. Ready for next year?

Check on your running buddies today! With no races in the state, they might be experimenting with a bizarre new sport called 'Sleeping in on Saturday Morning .' Warning: They may be slightly disoriented and overly rested! 😲 #WhereAreTheRaces

Exploring the racing scene in Connecticut! In 2023, out of the 169 towns, only Bethany, Eastford, and Washington did not host an official timed race.

[Run 169 Towns @Run169Towns]

As we bid farewell to 2023, let's celebrate our accomplishments. Share with us any running-related achievement from this year that you're particularly proud of. Let's inspire each other with our stories!

A big shout-out to Heather Park for maintaining a race listing that is simpler and more accurate than any other in the country. Try finding races in other states, and you'll have to sift through numerous advertisements only to receive partial listings.

A draft of our Super Bowl ad: We boast over 4,600 members, and each one purportedly donated $1,000 for the Super Bowl ad, amassing a whopping $4.6M budget to play with. Just kidding! 😄
Welcome to our zero-budget spectacle. A few tweaks left, but our video is nearly a masterpiece
