On Saturday July 11, WICT members were invited to participate in the Red Dress Run for Women in Elizabeth Park in Hartford Connecticut.
Prior to the race, 17 WICT members had a chance to interact with each other, grab a WICT tee shirt, visit the many vendor tents and also participate in the WICT New England team photo!
The Red Dress Run is a 5K run/walk exclusively for women of all ages & abilities to celebrate women’s fitness. The 3.1 mile route started and finished in the beautiful Elizabeth Park Rose Garden (with over 15,000 roses in full bloom!) and traveled through a mix of sun and shade covered residential streets on wide, well paved roads.
The temperature is always a challenging factor in mid-July, however the water stop on the course proved to be very helpful! At the conclusion of the race WICT members enjoyed a picnic breakfast of various fruit, bagels and beverages.
