About the race
Bound for the Sound is a scenic running event held in Old Lyme, Connecticut, featuring a 5K, a 10K, and a 1-mile Family Fun Run. Both the 5K and 10K races start at Sound View Beach and finish on historic Hartford Avenue with views of the beach. The 10K course is mostly flat with gentle hills and serves as the USATF-CT 10K State Championship for 2025 and 2026.
The 5K is very flat and fast. Participants enjoy chip timing, race t-shirts, hydration stations, and post-race food and drinks. The event welcomes runners and walkers, offers free parking, and supports the Old Lyme Fire Department Auxiliary. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
