Hundreds participate in 12th Petit road race By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen

Sprinklers helped save the day as runners defied the heat to take part in the 12th Annual Chips Family Restaurant 5K Road Race Sunday. Elizabeth Mashiak, of Newington, said residents putting out those sprinklers in their front lawns was just one part of the solidarity

which set the 5K apart from many of the other races she’s done. She was joined on the run by around 50 members of the Run 169 Towns Society, a free running club which helps members do an organized run in every town and city in the state. “Everyone had so many great things to say about this one, so we knew we wanted to be in it,” she said. “This

was an awesome community feel. The amount of volunteers they had, it’s amazing.” Those volunteers included around 60 Plainville students, who cheered for racers as they crossed the finish line, cleaned up after the race and handed out cups of water – or poured them over the heads of some racers who were feeling the heat.

Carolyn Checovetes crosses the finish line.

The race started at 9 a.m. on July 21 in front of Plainville High School. It took East Street to Stillwell Drive

down to its terminus at Rosemont Drive, which it followed to Arcadia Avenue. It then used Higgins and Dallas Avenues to reach Woodford Avenue, from where it returned to the high school via Woodland and Locust streets. “It was a fantastic turnout, we were very happy,” said Race Director Bob Heslin, estimating that they had between 500 and 600 runners this year, plus a few hundred participants in the 1.3 mile fitness walk. A half dozen

businesses served free ice cream, fruit and drinks for racers, along with around 1,000 pancakes served out of the Chip’s Family Restaurant food truck. Heslin believes the race is such a success because residents and businesses see the work done by the Petit Family Foundation, which receives all the proceeds from sponsorships and entry fees.

Ava is a lovely, light brown tabby. She came to our rescue with her sister, Eva, and the two young mothers had 12 kittens between them. Ava is very friendly, social and good with other cats. She is affectionate and loves to sleep with her foster mom. Miller is the last remaining kitten in the group. He is a character and a talker. The two were overlooked at our adoption event last weekend and now are hoping it's their turn to shine. Please visit hucatrescue.org.
