DANBURY, CT - The Danbury Westerners are pleased to announce that the 4th Annual Danbury Westerners Big Chili 5K is set for Sunday, February 21 at 10:00AM at the Danbury Sports Dome.
The race is part of the Chili Winter Warm Up which is a family festival and chili cook-off also held at the Danbury Sports Dome on Sunday, April 3 at 1:00PM. The course is fast and flat, leaving from the Danbury Sports Dome, rolling into Bethel and back to the Dome.
Runners will be treated with refreshments in the Dome following the race including a hot bowl of chili. Age group awards will be presented in seven different categories and t-shirts will be awarded to the first 150 registrants.

Paul Schaffer, President of the Danbury Westerners and a participant in each of the prior three Big Chili 5k road races said, "This is a great event where families can enjoy a nice run on a relatively flat course, and then warm up inside the Sports Dome with some chili. We are grateful for all of the runners who participate each year, and for our sponsors who help us with this event."
