There may be no event in the entire state that screams Connecticut as much as the Manchester Road Race. This isn't your typical 5k. Held every year on Thanksgiving morning this traditional run has turned into an event with an almost circus-like atmosphere. What makes it so, in part, is the fact that hundreds and hundreds of people dress up (and run!) in costume. This year www.CT.com has the honor of hosting the annual Manchester Road Race costume contest. Our folks will be set up at the dancing bear statue right in front of Center Park in downtown Manchester from 8-10 a.m. Anyone in costume is welcome to enter the costume contest (free to enter and there are no age restrictions so families are welcome!). Voting for the costume contest will be housed on CT.com and will run through Thanksgiving weekend. The best part? The winner of the costume contest receives a brand new HP laptop courtesy of Kaplan Computers! What?!? Yes, a laptop. Crazy. Now I just need help deciding what I'm going to dress as. I was thinking either Vegas showgirl or "sexy nun" but I'm taking suggestions, so feel free to comment with any you might have. See you Thanksgiving morning!
Until next time,
Chet
