About the Mohegan Striders 4-Miler at Sneekers

The race runs through Groton on roads, starting and finishing near a cafe called Sneekers. The course is a straightforward out-and-back style through the surrounding streets, and the cafe stays open during and after the awards, so there is somewhere to sit and eat when you are done.

Registration opens in the Sneekers parking lot on race morning, but runners should not park there. The designated lot is a short walk west on Poquonnock Road, and there will be signs pointing you to it. The cafe is open through the post-race awards, and a coupon from registration gets you a dollar off.

Common Questions About the Mohegan Striders 4-Miler at Sneekers

Will I finish last at the Mohegan Striders 4-Miler at Sneekers?

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 33:02, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Mohegan Striders 4-Miler at Sneekers a good first 4 Miles?

It is a small race (199 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. 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 Mohegan Striders 4-Miler at Sneekers?

The 4 Miles winner ran 20:43 while the median finisher took 33:02. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
