Ion Bank Cheshire Road Races
April 21, 2024
About the Event
This year’s race is limited 2,000 participants. The safety of our participants, volunteers and sponsors is our number one priority. We will meet or exceed all State and local health protocols.
The Ion Bank Cheshire Half Marathon & 5K is the largest community event in Cheshire, and raises funds for a number of charities including Abilities Without Boundaries, Best Buddies CT, and Cheshire Lions Club. In the event’s history, over $1,000,000 has been given to these charities, along with a number of other worthy causes.
The event also features the Healthy Living Festival. This gathering is a great opportunity for companies and local businesses to exhibit their products and services to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
