HF#9696. I had done this race for a few years up until 2013, which was my last year running it... I think it's a great race because the money raced helps the African Penguins. You get a t'shirt and your race entry gets you into the Aquarium afterward. The after part of the race is good too. Only thing I'm not impressed with is the course. You run through the woods at some point which the property is owned by the Dennison Pequot Nature Center. The Aquarium isn't aloud to do anything to this area, so since it's in the fall, there is a lot of leaves on the ground and you cannot see what's underneath it. On my way back through the woods, I hit a tree root and crashed into a tree. I was able to finish the race, but when I finished the race, nobody was helpful in helping me find an EMT or ambulance because my face was bleeding. Once I found a EMT on my own, they said "what do you want me to do for you?" Really??? Ended up going to the emergency room on my own to find out I had a concussion. My mom continues to walk the Penguin race, but 2013 was my last and final year. That race has never sat well with me and how things were handled.
