'It was really high energy,' said Laura Mongillo from Cheshire. 'We usually watch the race from our neighborhood, and the energy's usually really good in the community, too, so it was great — we have lots of community support.'
After the race, runners and spectators enjoyed a 'Healthy Living Festival' with food, vendors and health services.
