45th Annual Shad Derby Road Race
The Kiwanis Club of Windsor is the proud sponsor of one of the longest continuously running road races in the state of Connecticut, attracting runners from Connecticut and surrounding states. The event, on Saturday, May 16 , now called the Annual Kiwanis Shad Derby Road Race, will be the 45th in the string and is accompanied by a 2.5K fun walk. The 5K race takes you through parts of the town of Windsor, the oldest town in Connecticut, starting on the Windsor Green, along the picturesque Farmington River, through the historic campus of the Loomis Chaffee School and back to the Windsor Green. The Kiwanis Club will award medallions for the top finishers in individual age/gender categories as well as for the overall men and women’s first place finishers.

The race is part of the annual Windsor Shad Derby Festival celebrating the end of winter and the advent of spring, inviting Windsor residents and people from surrounding towns to come and partake of foods from a variety of vendors as well as arts and craft booths and games for the children. The road race precedes the beginning of the festival allowing the racers to participate in the festival which includes watching the Shad Derby parade passing by the Green at 12:00.

The Shad Derby Festival is a family event for both young and old. A beer garden is set up as part of the Festival for those 21 years of age and older. The beer garden will feature craft beers from nearby Thomas Hooker Brewing Co and Back East Brewing Co. as well as the old standbys Bud and Bud Lite. For the 38th year the Kiwanis Club of Windsor will be serving fried dough in front of the town hall. We hope to see you at this year’s Festival.
