About the Event

THE BLOWOUT IS BACK IN LORDSHIP! Sunday March 22


STAY FOR BRUNCH AT THE LITTLE PUB RESTAURANT

 

NOTE- ONCE WE HAVE REACHED OUR 50 MINIMUM WE CAN PROCEED FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR THE BLOWOUT 

 

We’ve got room/permitted for up to 150 so tell your friends, spread the word, post it on social media. We will be ready to go for this unique, 10K loop in the scenic, quiet and pretty darn flat, hamlet of Lordship. 

 

Our partner Little Pub has a terrific brunch starting at 10am. Bring a change of clothes and join us. You’ll certainly work up an appetite from your run! 

If you plan to enjoy brunch- head right in from 10-3. The LP does not take reservations. 

 

THE COURSE - our loop is 6.2 miles of flat and scenic roads.

THE GOOD NEWS…

 

We are running through the wonderfully scenic section of Stratford, along the water. It’s a pretty darn quiet neighborhood and really flat. We start and finish in the lot area across from the Little Pub at 10 Washington Pkwy.

It is a great place to do a long run on your own or with some friends.
Run/walk 6.2, 12.4, or 18.6 miles*. There will be at least one or two water tables on the course and plenty at the start/finish. 
BUT it’s always a good idea to carry your own water or plant some ahead of time.
For those that are really into marathon training distance- you can easily add on miles before or after!

 

THE ONLY EVENT OF ITS KIND IN CT - TAKE YOUR PICK OF DISTANCE 

 

The finish line will remain open until noon (That's around a 12+ min. pace if you start the 30k at 8:00am). 
If you plan to run a bit slower please email our Director to start earlier. IF YOU ARE STARTING EARLY You must connect with our timer JIM - before you start!  jimrg156@gmail.com 

 

The course is well marked with signage, cones and flour arrows on the streets. Course maps will be available and the link will be here soon.
(you can even change to a shorter distance while you’re in it!

 

We have designed a great 6.2 mile loop course that you can run once, twice or thrice. With our safe, flat loop you’ll be able to maintain a consistent pace of your choice.  We offer you a low-key event to keep costs down, but still have a quality run and enjoy the experience. 

 

We always hear “There are no 5 milers in CT anymore!”  Now there is one to try. (And no 5.1 milers either)
It will be well marked on quiet roads. There is a warm restaurant to come back to if you decide to 'brunch' with us or even just enjoy a post run beverage of your choice.
If you feel great & decide to extend your run for another loop- go for it!

 

It is true there aren’t many 10* milers either. And certainly no other 15* milers!

This is a great opportunity to try the distance without any pressure. It’s a great training run for a future half marathon, marathon, or just to show yourself it is possible. It’s also a chance to run a PR if you’re ready. 

OUR 5* mile LOOP COURSE -  http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7748335 

(*It is actually closer to 5.1mi -  Thanks for your understanding)

 

TIMINGJIM GERWECK! will use chip timing so you will get a 'net time' since there is a common start/finish line. And if you really need to start later than the 8:15am official start, Jim can accommodate you. (Remember- always write your name and time you wanted to run on a $20 bill and Jim can help you get your best time)

 

AND WE URGE YOU TO ALSO PLEASE KEEP YOUR OWN TIME AS A BACKUP. We want to make sure every possible safeguard is in place. THANKS!   
 
SWAG- We will have something for you - a shirt, hat, socks...depending on the tarriffs and whether Musk has fired either Jim or Marty. Put in your shirt size just in case... socks and hats are uni-sized.
