About the CT Veterans Day Race

The race runs through Coventry and benefits local veteran organizations directly. All proceeds go toward supporting at-risk and needy veterans, so the cause is the clear center of the event. Several distance options are available, including a ruck for those who want to carry weight, and virtual participation is an option as well.

Common Questions About the CT Veterans Day Race

Will I finish last at the CT Veterans Day Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 40:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the CT Veterans Day Race a good first 4 Miles?

A field of 213 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 4 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the CT Veterans Day Race?

The 4 Miles winner ran 23:26 while the median finisher took 40:32. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
