Robert J. Lynes Memorial Road Race

The 2nd Annual Robert J. Lynes Memorial Road Race is a 5K run/walk race with a kids Fun Run just before. It is being held in memory of Bobby Lynes who was a lifelong resident of Meriden.

In high school Bob ran on the track team at Orville H. Platt High School. Throughout his life he volunteered in Meriden for many different organizations such as:

The Meriden Daffodil FestivalThe Meriden Men's Softball LeagueThe Meriden Girls Softball LeagueThe Meriden Soccer LeagueBoy Scout Troop 43Castle Craig PlayhouseFrancis T. Maloney High School Props and PaintsThe Francis T. Maloney Marching Band Pit Crew

Monetary donations and proceeds from this road race will go into The Robert J. Lynes Memorial Fund for the preservation and beautification of Hubbard Park. We hope you can join us in honoring him and his dedication to the city and park that he loved, Meriden’s beautiful Hubbard Park.
