Woodbury, CT
This is a high school cross country invitational, with a parent race tucked in after the team events wrap up. The parent race is co-ed and open to moms and dads from any of the competing teams, so the sidelines tend to shift into something a little more participatory once the student athletes are done.

The Nonnewaug Cross Country Invitational has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 23:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 34:33, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (141 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 19:00 while the median finisher took 23:03. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
