Organizers present two‑loop Greenwich Half Marathon plan; selectmen schedule second reading
Summary
Greenwich Road Runners and race director John Bisawitz presented a two‑loop half‑marathon route for Sept. 27 to reduce household impacts and raise funds for local charities; the board took the presentation as a first read and scheduled a vote for Aug. 27.
Representatives of the Greenwich Road Runners outlined a proposed two‑loop half‑marathon in Old Greenwich for Sept. 27, asking the board for traffic and temporary one‑way restrictions on Shore Road, Sound Beach Avenue, and adjacent streets. Race director John Bisawitz described a route designed to keep traffic flowing on one side of Sound Beach while closing the other side to runners, and organizers said they would hand‑deliver notices to all impacted households and recruit some 150 volunteers to staff intersections and water stations.
Organizers said proceeds would benefit local charities (the presentation named Kids in Crisis among beneficiaries) and that roughly 250–400 participants are expected from Greenwich. Selectmen said they would take a second read on Aug. 27 and asked organizers to provide a list of recipient groups and continued coordination with police and public works on signage and traffic management.
