Join us for an evening run along the Connecticut River on shaded paved and dirt trails cut into the river bank.  After the run, participants are treated to great food and cold beer.
Enjoy the food while listening to the sounds of great music along the river.  All in all, the X-Treme Scramble is a great way to spend a summer evening.
The X-Treme Scramble is made possible due to the partnership and terrific support by Riverfront Recapture.

X-Treme Scramble Riverfront Twilight 5K Course Map Are you kidding? This course is so wacko; there is no way to put it on a map! Just be prepared for wet sand, dirt paths, rocky hills, grassy knolls, stair climbs and even a little asphalt!  It is definitely not your high school track. So lighten up, don't take your time too seriously on this one - just do it for the party at the end! Worried about the weather?  Click on the Fox 61 logo for the up to the minute forecast.

The mosquito population is healthy along the river at this time of year!   Be prepared - Bring mosquito repellent to X-Treme #1

All participants of legal age can enjoy a cold  Harpoon beer after the race.
After the run, enjoy great food from Moe's Southwest Grill and Kayem while listening to our live band along the river. Don't forget to thank our sponsors for their support.

		Every Scramble is different - you may cross over the river on Founders Bridge and take the switchback ramp down onto the path along Great River Park. You may follow the path south past the boat ramp and amphitheater. You might wade along the beach on the river and up and over the hill back to the path.
You might run across the bridge and down the stairs to Charter Oak Landing and follow the trail into Charter Oak Landing. You may even climb over the Park River and continue south to the finish beneath Mortensen Riverfront Plaza.  Portions of this course might get you wet, might make you curse, might make you dirty – but it will all make you smile.
