About the Race: The Sharon Classic
Road Race, a 23-year tradition in Sharon, CT combines small-town
charm with big race amenities. What began as a small but
meaningful fundraiser for the Sharon Day Care Center has
evolved into a significant early spring race in the Northwest
Corner. It is also a very successful fundraiser.
In recent years we have added professional
timing services, cash prizes ($50 for 1st male/female in
each age division), babysitting services, free massages
and terrific food. The entire community joins in the fun
with representatives from the Volunteer Fire Department,
Sharon Audubon Society, area banks and Sharon Center School.
We also have a Silent Auction with fabulous items for bidding,
such as artwork from town artists, restaurant gift certificates
and ski lift passes.
The race course is a beautiful route
through town and rural sections of Sharon. The “lollipop”
route has gently rolling hills with one moderately challenging
hill in the 4th mile. We have water stations and timers
along the course. It is one of the most enjoyable courses
to run in the Northwest Corner. The Sharon Classic is a
great way to start the racing season and it is an excellent
warm-up for the larger races in the area.
About the SDCC:
The Sharon Day Care Center, a non-profit organization located
in Sharon, Connecticut, was founded in 1985 and is dedicated
to top quality day care for community children, 3 to 9 years
of age. It currently operates in the lower level of the
Sharon Center School building. The Sharon Day Care Center
is a licensed and nationally accredited program with a Board
of Directors, Executive Director and a staff of six.
Funds from the Sharon
Classic assist in balancing the Center’s operating budget.
It allows the Board of Directors to offer scholarship assistance,
support staff development, purchase supplies and materials
that enhance the children’s experience at Sharon Day Care,
and offer benefits to our employees.
