Chasing the Legend; Easton's Lady in White 5K Run/Walk

Chasing the Legend; Easton's Lady in White 5K Run/Walk takes place in Easton, Connecticut, on October 24, 2026. The 5K run and walk starts at 10:00 a.m., late enough that you can travel in that morning, collect your number without hurrying and still get a proper warm-up in before the gun.

Since runners and walkers share the same start, line up by the pace you plan to hold rather than by the distance. New England in late October usually offers cool, dry air, which is close to perfect for racing 3.1 miles, though it argues for keeping a layer on until the last few minutes. Preparation is straightforward: a month of consistent running with one weekly session at hard effort, then a controlled first half-mile and a faster finish on the day.
