A Ridgefield Fall Classic
The Ridgefield Road Fest races showcase classic fall New England scenery, taking you through some of the prettiest roads in Fairfield County. Every race starts on East Ridge Road, just above the Boys & Girls Club of Ridgefield, with a few gradual climbs to keep you honest. From there, the course settles into a nice rolling stretch through southern Ridgefield, looping twice past some of the flattest miles in town. A fast downhill carries you into downtown Ridgefield and back to the Boys & Girls Club — so you're sure to finish strong and smiling, whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned racer.
