Miles For Margaritas

Get ready for a unique blend of fitness and festivity at the 6th annual Miles For Margaritas, returning to Stratford, CT, on Sunday, May 3, 2026! This popular event, known for its lively atmosphere, offers participants the choice of a chip-timed 5K run/walk or a leisurely untimed Margarita Mile walk. Both courses wind through the picturesque seaside neighborhood of Lordship, boasting great water views and a mostly flat (95.6%) terrain on quiet, open roads, requiring runners to safely stay to the left, facing traffic. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 65°F and lows around 48°F, with only a 15% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

What truly sets Miles For Margaritas apart is the ultimate post-race reward: every participant aged 21 and over is eligible for a terrific margarita upon finishing, with non-alcoholic options and award-winning Athletic Brew also available. The 5K course is accurately measured, and age group winners can look forward to Little Pub gift card prizes. All registrants receive a specially designed event t-shirt, guaranteed for those who sign up by April 19. Be sure to carry your own fluids during the race, as on-course water tables may not be available.

The race starts at 9:00 AM from 10 Washington Parkway, the home of the Little Pub. Given its history of selling out early—as it did in 2025—participation is limited to 250, so early registration is highly recommended. Arriving early is also advisable for parking, which is available at the Little Pub lots, along Washington Parkway, and the seawall in this charming residential area. Join the Miles For Margaritas for a scenic run, a celebratory drink, and an unforgettable start to your May!
