SATURDAY DECEMBER 3rd 2022
Join the Nichols Improvement Association as we present the 33rd holiday classic, on a scenic rolling hill 5K course through the heart of the Nichols community, with one of the best race finishes in Fairfield County.
Walkers are welcomed to participate in our newly introduced 2 Mille Health walk on the rolling hills of Nichols. Stroll, walk, push the kids...everyone is welcome!
COVID PROCEDURES: As we prepare for our 33rd run, our plan is for a normal 5K in-person event complete with post race food, beverages and awards; however, we realize this may not be possible and must be ready to pivot. This could include modifications to ensure a safe event (i.e. staggered start, sealed water & pre wrap snacks, reduced/fast awards- no big ceremony, masks on prior to start & after finish, etc) or following whatever COVID restrictions as determined by the state. Worst case - we could be required to go 100% virtual - like last-year. Just BE READY & patient. We will keep this site updated and let all pre-registered know what’s going on. If we are forced to go virtual please understand we can’t refund your registration. We pay non refundable deposits on some items and buy food and fluids, shirts, bibs, pins, etc., in advance. If you are uncertain about your participation in the race, please delay your registration. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility ... Yes costumes/festive attire are still encouraged!
