Registration Brochure (PDF File)

One of the major keys to running a successful road race is to have caring, supportive sponsors, and though only in its second year, the Commodore Hull Thanksgiving Day 5K Road Race has been fortunate in rounding up just such a group. On this page you will see the sponsors who are on board to date along with a listing of sponsorships currently available. We will be adding additional features about our sponsors as we go along, but please let them know that you saw them here and appreciate their making this community event possible. To start with, the race has the support of Ansonia, Derby and Shelton and their respective mayors and recreation departments.
