Ledyard RedZone 5k

Ledyard RedZone 5k is held in Hartford, Vermont, on February 13, 2027. There is one distance, a 5K (3.1 miles), with a 10:00 AM start.

Small-town 5Ks like this one are the easiest races to enter and among the most useful. Because the distance is short, the training required is modest, with four weeks of running three or four times a week and one session that includes some faster running being plenty, and the recovery afterwards is a day rather than a week. Run it hard and the finishing time gives you a benchmark for the spring; run it easy and it is simply the day's training done in company. Either way, jog for ten minutes before the 10:00 AM start so the opening quarter mile does not do the warming up for you.
