The race is organized by the Department of Parks and Recreation and is the second leg of the 2019 Hospital For Special Surgery Greenwich Cup Series.
The race, which has been an annual event since 1965, was rededicated in 1985 in memory of Old Greenwich runner Jim Fixx, a major contributor to the sport.
