ARC RUN 2026
Please join us for our largest fundraiser of the year to support our mission and community impact! The Arc Run 2026 includes two on-site races on September 19, 2026, as well as a virtual race spanning August 19 - September 19.
The on-site 5K and 10K races utilize our USATF-certified course beginning and ending at 200 Research Parkway, Meriden, CT. For us, our course passes through portions of Meriden and Wallingford to emphasize our deep roots and decades of service to both communities. For you, our course allows your race to be a marathon-qualifying time (stay tuned for details)!
Want to support the Arc Run but don't want to actually run? Consider becoming a sponsor or simply a sideline cheerleader! There are plenty of ways to show up and be part of our community. Contact us for more information.
