Shenipsit Striders Fatass

The Shenipsit Striders 50th Fatass is a celebratory running event held at Crandall's Park Pavilion in Tolland, Connecticut. Marking the club's 50th anniversary, the event features an 8-hour window where participants run multiple 5K loops on a trail course starting and finishing at the pavilion. Runners earn raffle tickets for each loop completed, with chances to win prizes like race entries and club merchandise, and can find hidden treasures along the course for extra tickets.

The event has a festive atmosphere with games, raffles, and a potluck where attendees bring food while burgers and hot dogs are provided. Participants completing at least one loop receive a special anniversary gift. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
