The Community Fund of Darien's
40th Annual Darien Road Race

This town-favorite event is The Community Fund of Darien's only major fundraising event of the year. Proceeds of the race and silent auction are used to fund over 20 area nonprofit agencies focused on human needs such as homelessness, domestic violence, food insecurity, job training, physical and mental health, and youth success programs. 

The silent auction will end at 6:00 PM on Sunday, September 15th to give race participants, spectators, and residents unable to attend, the opportunity to bid on items throughout the day.

Make your holiday gift list and remember teachers, coaches, postal workers, trainers, nannies, and yourself while bidding!

Be on the lookout for "Best of Darien" auction items! Please remember to shop local! The support of retail merchants and businesses of Darien, Norwalk, and Stamford is a big part of what makes our community so special!
