THE FAIRFIELD POLICE SUNSET 5K - Presented by Moneco Advisors

Lace up your sneakers for THE FAIRFIELD POLICE SUNSET 5K - Presented by Moneco Advisors, an unforgettable summer evening race held on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, in scenic Fairfield, CT. This popular event kicks off and concludes at the beautiful Jennings Beach, offering a flat and potentially fast 5K course that winds through a welcoming neighborhood, ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for all participants thanks to the presence of Fairfield's Finest and Police Explorers. Runners consistently praise the scenic route and the vibrant atmosphere. For those seeking a more leisurely experience, an untimed 0.8-mile walk is also available.

Beyond the race itself, this event is a true community celebration and a highlight of the summer calendar. Participants can look forward to a festive "food truck rodeo," complimentary food and fluids included with entry, and adult beverages for those 21 and over, making for a perfect post-race party by the beach. The race also proudly supports two vital local causes: the Fairfield Police Union Scholarship Fund and the Fairfield Police Foundation. What truly sets this race apart is its commitment to inclusion, partnering with myTEAM TRIUMPH to enable athletes with disabilities to cross the finish line alongside their "Angels," creating a heartwarming display of teamwork and unity. Additionally, participants are invited to bring a new pair of white socks for donation to nOURish Bridgeport, supporting neighbors in need.

With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 85F and lows around 69F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, it promises to be an ideal evening for a sunset run or walk. Join fellow runners and walkers for an inspiring and impactful event, where every stride supports a noble cause and every finish is a celebration.
