Quick facts
- Steady field of about 400 half marathon finishers, small enough to seed yourself honestly.
- Two-loop rolling course with a genuine downhill finish into the town center.
- Entry benefits the Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield, with a team entry option alongside open registration.
- Held the same morning as a 7-miler and a 5K on shared roads.
Course
The half starts on East Ridge Road and covers southern Ridgefield in two loops, with a few gradual climbs and long rolling stretches rather than one big hill. The last mile drops hard into downtown Ridgefield before turning back to the club, which makes a negative split realistic if you leave something in the legs.
Race-day weather
Mid-October in western Connecticut typically starts near 45 degrees and climbs into the 50s or 60s. The 7:15 start keeps most of the race in cool air, and shaded stretches through the south end hold that chill longer than the open road sections.
About the Ridgefield Road Fest Half Marathon
One of the longest-running road races in Connecticut, built around the Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield and still drawing roughly 400 half marathon finishers a year. A 7-miler and a 5K run the same morning, so the club campus fills up early. The half is the anchor and the reason the race keeps a following among New York and Connecticut runners looking for a fall tune-up.
