Community Challenge

COVID-19 RACE UPDATES

The Town of Fairfield, exercising caution regarding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and in light of their current event guidelines has asked us to make the difficult but necessary decision to convert our race into a fully virtual event. While we are disappointed that we will not be together this year, we remain committed to our driving purpose behind the Bigelow Tea Community Challenge: supporting 23 local charities in their tireless work on behalf of those in need.
 
As of September 1^st, we are only offering registration for our Virtual 5k Run and Virtual Kid’s Run, and participants who previously registered for our in-person event will be automatically switched to a virtual registration. Due to the charitable nature of this event, we cannot offer any refunds.  
 
This year, we encourage you to share your training photos/videos and your day-of run on social media using the hashtag #BigTeaCC to stay connected. Be sure to follow along on our Bigelow Tea social media pages, where we will be featuring this year’s Bigelow Tea Community Challenge, including a live event start at 10:00am on race day! And of course, all registrants will receive a BTCC 2020 t-shirt and an amazing swag bag filled with goodies donated by local businesses, which will be picked up during designated times at our Fairfield headquarters, or shipped to those who are not local (shipping rates apply).
 
Despite the change to a virtual event, and the challenges that 2020 has brought to us, thank you for your ongoing support of the Bigelow Tea Community Challenge!
