🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

The 3rd 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. This years run is on the day of his actual passing 3 years ago so it is extra meaningful and special this year to the family to have a big turnout to honor this amazing man and the park he loved so much!

🏅 Bob's Legacy

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:

  • Meriden Daffodil Festival: One of the key events in the community.
  • Meriden Men's Softball League: A popular local sporting organization.
  • Meriden Girls Softball League: Supporting young female athletes.
  • Boy Scout Troop 43: Guiding local youth through scouting activities.

🌼 Fundraising Purpose

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. Proceeds from previous years races have gone towards a beautiful bench put in the park dedicated to Robert for anyone to go and sit on and enjoy the beautiful park, as well as a donation made to plant more daffodil bulbs and a donation was made to the Daffodil Festival for the 45th anniversary fireworks display for 2025! 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.
