Join Franklin Academy in East Haddam, CT for their 6th Annual Double Helix 1.75 Mile Race, a creative event that began in 2020 on National DNA Day and features a double helix-inspired route through campus. This fun tradition welcomes all types of participants—runners, bikers, and anyone on stilts—and awards recycled trophies plus recognition for course records, age groups, and special categories like best costumes and most dramatic finishes. Expect a challenging rocky dirt path with hills and a quick downhill stretch, with water stations, post-race snacks, leashed vaccinated dogs welcome, and rain or shine racing!
