It’s true there are an abundance of races and walks these days and all for really great causes but the Connection Inc’s Wicked Good Road Race stands alone for its originality and fun. Not only is it nice to race in the autumn for the beauty and the relief of cooler weather, but what’s better than also getting to wear and see your favorite costumes; yes the participants in the Wicked Good Road Race are dressed for Halloween! There will be prizes for the best costumes, carousel rides, excellent food and it all raises funds for one of Connecticut’s hardest working organizations.
